Diagnostic Accuracy in Teleneurological Stroke Consultations.
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 5 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
backgroundThe accuracy of diagnosing acute cerebrovascular disease via a teleneurology service and the characteristics of misdiagnosed patients are insufficiently known.
methodsA random sample (
resultsOut of 1078 consultations, 52% (
conclusionsTeleneurological consultations are accurate for identifying patients with CVD, and there is a very low rate of missed candidates for thrombolysis. Apart from a lower prevalence of ischemic heart disease, characteristics of "stroke chameleons" were similar to those of correctly identified CVD patients.
