Cardioembolic stroke with hemorrhagic transformation in atrial fibrillation patients on anticoagulant therapy: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. 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
Cardioembolic stroke is the second leading cause of mortality and the leading cause of long-term morbidity. Embolisms of cardiac origin, such as atrial fibrillation, represent about one-fifth of all ischemic strokes. Patients with acute atrial fibrillation frequently require anticoagulation, which increases the risk of hemorrhagic transformation. A 67-year-old woman was brought to the Emergency Department with decreased consciousness, weakness on the left side, facial expression, and slurred speech. The patient had a history of atrial fibrillation and was taking regular medications acarbose, warfarin, candesartan and bisoprolol. She has had an ischemic stroke about a year ago. Left hemiparesis, hyperreflexias, pathologic reflexes, and central type of facial nerve palsy were found. The CT-Scan results revealed hyperacute to acute thromboembolic cerebral infraction in the frontotemporoparietal lobe to the right basal ganglia accompanied by hemorrhagic transformation. Massive cerebral infarction, history of previous stroke, and use of anticoagulants are among the greatest risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation in these patients. The use of warfarin should be of particular concern to the clinician, because hemorrhagic transformation is associated with poorer functional outcome and morbidity and mortality.
