Stroke from Infection.
Review in Cerebrovascular diseases extra, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundStroke related to infections represents a less common but significant cause, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This review examines the pathophysiology of stroke from infections, involving both direct and indirect mechanisms. SUMMARY: Bacterial infections such as tuberculous meningitis and infective endocarditis can directly cause strokes through local inflammation, arteritis, and septic embolism. Viral infections like Varicella zoster virus and HIV increase stroke risk through chronic immune activation, vasculopathy, and endothelial dysfunction. Parasitic infections, particularly malaria and neurocysticercosis, can cause strokes via vascular occlusion and inflammatory responses. Fungal infections like aspergillosis and mucormycosis can lead to strokes through vasculitis and direct invasion of the CNS. KEY MESSAGES: Understanding the mechanisms by which various infectious agents contribute to stroke pathogenesis is essential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies and improving patient outcomes. Further research is needed to establish effective prevention and treatment for infection-related strokes, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
