Hypoglycemic hemiparesis as stroke mimic with transient splenial lesion and internal capsule involvement: A reversible clinico-radiological concurrence.
Article in Journal of postgraduate medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hypoglycemia presents with a spectrum of neurological manifestations ranging from lightheadedness to confusion and coma. We report here the case of a 61-year-old woman with right hemiparesis presenting within the window period for stroke thrombolysis. MRI brain showed diffusion restriction in posterior limb of left internal capsule and splenium. Patient had documented hypoglycemia of 38 mg/dL. Patient's hemiparesis resolved after glucose correction, and radiological findings completely resolved after 10 days. We present this case to highlight the rare radiological finding of simultaneous internal capsule and splenium involvement in hypoglycemic hemiparesis and the importance to rule out stroke mimics to avoid unwanted thrombolysis.
