Subacute Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Stroke Radiographically Mimicking Lhermitte-Duclos Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare cerebellar lesion characterized by a hamartomatous lesion of the cerebellum. Mainly diagnosed by MRI, the clinical presentation is usually made of neurological symptoms. Modern neuroimaging techniques such as MRI have led to accurate diagnosis of this disease in both its pre- and post-operative periods. We present the case of a 68-year-old male with a past medical history of cardiac stenting and coronary artery disease who originally presented to the emergency department as a transfer for evaluation of possible obstructing hydrocephalus and left posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) infarct. Based on the clinical presentation and imaging, the favored diagnosis of his left cerebellar abnormality was LDD rather than an unusual acute/subacute infarct or a metastatic lesion. The rapid progression of symptoms with rapidly progressive cytotoxic edema on serial CTs helped exclude LDD, which is nearly always more of a chronic process. The classic neuroimaging findings and clinical presentation of LDD are also discussed.
