Capsular warning syndrome-a case of atrial fibrillation and corona radiata infarct.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundCapsular warning syndrome (CWS) is a rare clinical syndrome characterised by recurrent and transient episodes of focal neurological deficits with high risk of infarction. The exact physiological mechanism of CWS remains unclear but is most commonly believed to be a result of haemodynamic insufficiency in diseased, small penetrating vessels. There are no defined treatment guidelines or established effective therapy. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the case of a 65-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with recurrent episodes of dysarthria coupled with right facial droop and right-sided weakness. Symptoms recurred a total of ten times within a span of 3 h. He had new onset atrial fibrillation. An initial cerebral angiogram showed mild intracranial atherosclerotic disease with no proximal large vessel occlusion or acute infarct. Magnetic resonance imaging 1 h later demonstrated an infarct in the left corona radiata.
conclusionsThis case illustrates an uncommon etiology of CWS. We will also discuss the lack of consensus in treatment options for CWS to mitigate a complete stroke.
