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
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of acute ischemic cerebrovascular accidents in adults. However, this association has not been well established in the pediatric population. We report a case of acute right internal capsule lacunar infarct manifesting as left-sided hemiplegia in an adolescent with severe obesity. Severe untreated obstructive sleep apnea was identified during the hospital stay. Positive airway pressure therapy, weight loss, and tonsillectomy eventually normalized sleep-disordered breathing. The patient recovered completely without any residual neurological deficits with multidisciplinary care. Lacunar infarcts due to hypertension-related cerebral vasculopathy are a well-known cause of stroke in adults. Untreated obstructive sleep apnea may cause hypertension and potentially predispose even the pediatric population to develop lacunar infarcts. Polysomnography needs to be considered as a part of the diagnostic algorithm in pediatric patients with stroke. CITATION: Chen B, Gorantla S, Shah V.
