Patent foramen ovale with cryptogenic stroke: A case report.
Article in Medicine international. 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
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital heart defect that can contribute to cryptogenic stroke, particularly in younger patients lacking traditional risk factors. The present study describes the case of a 14-year-old male patient who experienced an acute ischemic stroke without identifiable atheroembolic risk factors. Comprehensive diagnostic imaging revealed a marked right-to-left shunt through a PFO, identified as the probable cause of the stroke. The patient was treated with dual antiplatelet therapy and subsequently underwent successful percutaneous PFO closure. At 6 months following the procedure, the patient exhibited notable neurological recovery. The present case report highlights the critical need for evaluating PFO as a potential etiology of cryptogenic stroke in younger populations, emphasizing the advantages of a multidisciplinary approach and timely intervention in preventing recurrent events.
