Disabling Neurologic Deficits and Antiplatelet Therapy in Acute Minor Stroke.
Trial report in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00979589 (Randomized,Double-blind Trial Comparing the Effects of a 3-month Clopidogrel Regimen,Combined With ASA During the First 21days,Versus ASA Alone for the Acute Treatment of TIA or Minor Stroke), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to assess the clinical outcome among patients with minor stroke, both with and without disabling neurologic deficits (DNDs). It sought to investigate the efficacy of antiplatelet therapy using clopidogrel-aspirin versus aspirin alone within the framework of the CHANCE (Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients With Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events) trial. METHODS AND
resultsWe enrolled 3725 patients with minor stroke from the CHANCE trial. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those with DNDs and those without, based on the presence or absence of DND, as determined by the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score. The interaction between the treatment effects of antiplatelet therapy in patients with or without DNDs was analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Of all enrolled patients, 1918 (51.5%) had DNDs, and 1807 (48.5%) did not. Patients with DNDs exhibited a higher risk of stroke recurrence at 90 days compared with those without (11.9% versus 8.5%;
conclusionsDNDs appear to correlate with an elevated risk of recurrent stroke in patients with minor stroke. Dual antiplatelet therapy demonstrates superiority over aspirin alone in reducing the risk of subsequent stroke events within 90 days in patients, regardless of the presence of DNDs.
