Synchronous Acute Ischemic Stroke and Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The synchronous presentation of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), termed concurrent cardiocerebral infarction (CCI), is a rare but fatal condition that poses challenges in diagnosis and management. This case report contributes to the limited literature on the successful management of a patient presenting with CCI while emphasizing the risk-benefit balance in thrombolysis and dual antiplatelet therapy. We report a 51-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with a stroke alert after experiencing right-sided flaccid paralysis and aphasia. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score on arrival was 24. An initial CT angiogram of the head confirmed the presence of an occluded left internal carotid artery (ICA) terminus with no flow in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). Tenecteplase 0.25mg/kg was administered, and the patient subsequently underwent thrombectomy. An EKG after undergoing thrombectomy revealed ST elevations in the anteroseptal leads V1-V4. After the thrombectomy, the patient was transferred to a facility with interventional cardiology, where he underwent percutaneous coronary aspiration thrombectomy with drug-eluting stent placement into the proximal and mid-left anterior descending artery. The patient received 300mg rectal aspirin and IV cangrelor. He was continued on aspirin/clopidogrel dual therapy, and the patient was subsequently discharged and instructed to follow up with a cardiologist. This case report underscores the necessity of a holistic approach to management guidelines for patients presenting with synchronous AIS and AMI due to the potential complications associated with the treatment of either AIS or AMI.
