Referral of a Patient With Ocular Symptoms to the Stroke Clinic: Not Always the Usual Suspect!
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
A 77-year-old male attended the stroke clinic as a delayed presentation of a stroke and was initially managed as an occipital stroke. He presented with a gradual decline in visual acuity with an initial suspicion of field deficit over a period of three to four months. He underwent extensive tests including imaging for a confirmatory diagnosis. He had a rapid deterioration of his vision, function, and cognition over a few weeks resulting eventually in death. The case highlights a rare variant of sporadic Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (sCJD), the Heidenhain Variant (HV-CJD). CJD is the commonest of human prion diseases. In HV-CJD, pathologic prions display demyelinating neurotropism for the occipital lobes resulting in visual changes and hallucinations.
