Dystonia as a Presenting Feature of Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders can occur post-stroke. Of these, dystonia is known to occur in the chronic stage of stroke. Rarely, acute dystonia can present as a symptom of acute ischemic stroke or develop during hospitalization for ischemic stroke. In this article, we present a case of acute focal dystonia as a presenting symptom of acute ischemic stroke, review the literature to summarize previous reports, and provide more insight into the pathophysiologic mechanisms related to this presentation.
