Central Nervous System Causes of Sudden Unexpected Death: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Sudden unexpected death due to central nervous system (CNS)-related pathologies though far less common than cardiac causes still account for a substantial proportion of sudden deaths that occur worldwide. This review covers the most common causes of sudden unexpected death due to CNS-related pathologies encountered by forensic pathologists. These include intracerebral hemorrhage, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, epilepsy, brain tumors, and infectious causes. Related rare causes are not discussed and are beyond the scope of this review. The role of neuroimaging and genetic testing as autopsy ancillary investigations in such sudden deaths is also discussed.
