Cerebral stroke mimics associated with spinal vascular disease: two case reports.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Several diseases produce symptoms similar to those of a cerebral stroke, resulting in their misdiagnosis as stroke. Cerebral stroke mimics are common in emergency rooms. We report two cases of cerebral stroke mimics to attract the attention of clinicians, especially emergency room doctors. In one case, a patient with spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) exhibited lower-right limb numbness and weakness. In the other, a patient with spinal cord infarction (SCI) had numbness and weakness of the lower-left limb. Both cases were misdiagnosed as cerebral strokes in the emergency room. One of the patients underwent hematoma removal surgery, and the other received medical treatment for spinal cord infarction. Patients' symptoms improved, but the sequelae remained. Single-limb numbness and weakness are an uncommon initial presentation of spinal vascular disease that can lead to its misdiagnosis. When encountering single-limb numbness and weakness, it is necessary to consider the differential diagnosis of spinal vascular disease, thereby reducing misdiagnosis.
