The insular cortex, autonomic asymmetry and cardiovascular control: looking at the right side of stroke.
Review in Clinical autonomic research : official journal of the Clinical Autonomic Research Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeEvidence from animal and human studies demonstrates that cortical regions play a key role in autonomic modulation with a differential role for some brain regions located in the left and right brain hemispheres. Known as autonomic asymmetry, this phenomenon has been demonstrated by clinical observations, by experimental models, and currently by combined neuroimaging and direct recordings of sympathetic nerve activity. Previous studies report peculiar autonomic-mediated cardiovascular alterations following unilateral damage to the left or right insula, a multifunctional key cortical region involved in emotional processing linked to autonomic cardiovascular control and featuring asymmetric characteristics.
methodsBased on clinical studies reporting specific damage to the insular cortex, this review aims to provide an overview of the prognostic significance of unilateral (left or right hemisphere) post-insular stroke cardiac alterations. In addition, we review experimental data aiming to unravel the central mechanisms involved in post-insular stroke cardiovascular complications. RESULTS AND
conclusionCurrent clinical and experimental data suggest that stroke of the right insula can present a worse cardiovascular prognosis.
