End-of-Life Care of a Patient With Pontine Stroke and Prolonged Hospitalization: A Case Report.
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
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability in the United States that can lead to loss of function and consciousness. With the abrupt onset of the brain insult, end-of-life care discussions are an important attribute of respecting the patient's best wishes and upholding the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, fidelity, and justice. Furthermore, the topic of extending life support to individuals with poor prognostic factors of improvement in quality of life and functional recovery has been a continued topic of debate due to a multitude of factors, including the wishes of the patient, familial emotions, cultural beliefs, and religious influences. This case involves a patient who suffered from a left pontine stroke, necessitating multiple end-of-life care conversations. Despite no clinical improvement for several years, the patient required prolonged hospitalization and ongoing ventilator use.
