Acute cerebral ischemic stroke as a presentation of polycythemia vera: a case report and a review of literature.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2023. 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
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a disease of stem cells characterized by pan hyperplastic, malignant, and neoplastic bone marrow conditions. It is characterized by an increased absolute red blood cell count due to uncontrolled red blood cell synthesis, as well as excessive white blood cell and platelet production. Although the relationship between PV and stroke, especially ischemic stroke, is widely known around the world, no previous cases have been reported from Somalia. Case presentation: In the presenting study, we report a 60-year-old male patient who presented with a right-side weakness for 3 days. After laboratory and brain imaging, he was diagnosed with an acute cerebral infarct affecting the left basal ganglion secondary to PV. Conclusions: PV as the cause of ischemic stroke is a rare condition but can be encountered in clinical practice, and clinicians should be familiar with this combination.
