Hemorrhagic Stroke in a 24-Year-Old Male With Polycythemia Vera: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, according to the latest report by the World Health Organization (WHO). Intracerebral hemorrhage comprises 20-25% of the stroke in the young, with incidence rates of three to six in 100,000 people per year. One of the most common and important causes of hemorrhagic stroke in the general population is hypertension. Polycythemia vera (PV) can manifest with both cranial thrombosis and hemorrhage. We report a 24-year-old male, known hypertensive, who presented as a pontine hemorrhage. Further examination with imaging and laboratory tests demonstrated a diagnosis of PV. In PV, platelet dysfunction and acquired Von Willebrand syndrome are predisposing factors to bleeding. Associated blood viscosity and the proinflammatory state cause vascular remodeling, leading to hypertension. These mechanisms have collectively been described to cause hemorrhagic stroke in PV.
