Severity by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale Score and Clinical Features of Stroke Patients with Patent Foramen Ovale Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The comparative severity of patent foramen ovale (PFO)-related stroke in patients without atrial fibrillation (AF) and AF-related stroke in patients without PFO is unknown. Therefore, we compared the severity of PFO-related stroke and AF-related stroke. Twenty-six patients who underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) were diagnosed with cardioembolic stroke from July 2018 to March 2020. Cases with AF detected by electrocardiograms or thrombus in the left atrium or left atrial appendage on TEE were included in the AF-related stroke group. Cases with a positive microbubble test on the Valsalva maneuver during TEE, and with no other factors that could cause stroke, were included in the PFO-related stroke group. This study was designed as a single-center, small population pilot study. The stroke severity of the two groups by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was compared by statistical analysis. Of the 26 cases, five PFO-related stroke patients and 21 AF-related stroke patients were analyzed. The NIHSS score was 2.2 ± 2.8 and 11.5 ± 9.2 (
