1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionChorea is an uncommon complication of stroke. The pathophysiology, the exact location of the lesions, and the evolution of this type of chorea are still poorly understood. The objective was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and imaging profile of post-stroke chorea in a tropical environment in the context of a stroke epidemic. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe conducted a five-year retrospective observational study from 2015 to 2020 on stroke patients who presented with chorea in our department. Epidemiological, clinical, and imaging data were registered.

resultsFourteen patients presented with chorea after their stroke, a frequency of 0.6%. The average age was 57.1 years with a male predominance. Hypertension was the cardiovascular risk factor in half of the patients; three patients (21.4) were diabetic. Chorea was the initial manifestation of the stroke in eight patients (57.1%). Thirteen patients (92.9%) had an ischaemic stroke and one had a cerebral haemorrhage. The middle cerebral artery (MCA) was involved in nine patients (64.3%), the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) in three patients (21.4%), and two patients (14.3%) had posterior cerebral artery (PCA) involvement. The lesions were cortical in five patients (35.7%), five other patients (35.7%) had a deep location, and four patients (28.6%) had both deep and cortical locations of their lesions. The structures affected were the lentiform nucleus (50%), the insula (35.7%), the caudate nucleus (14.3%), and the thalamus (14.3%).

conclusionPost-stroke chorea is poorly studied in the tropics. In the presence of any acute abnormal movement associated with cardiovascular risk factors, post-stroke chorea should be considered. Recovery is rapid when treated early.
