Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State-Induced Hyperviscosity as a Catalyst for Multiple Embolic Strokes.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is the most serious emergency in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. It has been associated with a prothrombotic state that increases the risk for ischemia in affected patients. Despite the literature on the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with chronic hyperglycemia being vast, there is not enough documentation on the risk of developing a stroke during a hyperglycemic crisis. We present a rare case of an 86-year-old male who was admitted with HHS whose hospital course was further complicated by multiple embolic strokes. Prompt recognition of cerebral infarction when it intertwines with HHS remains a challenging task. This case emphasizes the value of clinical vigilance in patients with this hyperglycemic crisis. Further research is needed to better understand what this prothrombotic state truly entails in these patients.
