Idiopathic Hypereosinophilic Syndrome Presenting With Embolic Stroke.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare condition characterized by eosinophilia associated with organ damage, most commonly affecting the skin, lung, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and central nervous system. The idiopathic form is characterized by the absence of other conditions associated with hypereosinophilia such as allergies, infectious, hematological, immunological, endocrine or neoplasm diseases. The authors present a clinical case of a 70-year-old man with no relevant history, who went to the emergency department for neurological deficits and nonspecific chest pain. Laboratory tests revealed marked eosinophilia, elevation of cardiac enzymes with normal electrocardiogram. Computed tomography of the head showed multiple bilateral ischemic lesions. Upon further investigation for the cerebrovascular disease, transesophageal echocardiogram showed a thrombus at the aortic arch, as a probable embolic source. Despite anticoagulant therapy and corticosteroids, the patient's status deteriorated, with multiple successive ischemic strokes and worsening neurological deficits. After a thorough investigation, the diagnosis of idiopathic eosinophilia was established.
