1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

A 24-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis as an adolescent, was brought to the emergency room with right hemiparesis and impaired consciousness 21 days after giving birth to her second child by cesarean section. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed high diffusion-weighted signal changes in the left insular cortex and temporal lobe. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed occlusion of the left internal carotid artery. She was treated with alteplase administration and mechanical thrombectomy, resulting in the improvement of neurological symptoms. Subsequent examination revealed a ventricular aneurysm caused by cardiac sarcoidosis, leading to the diagnosis of cardioembolic stroke. It was also assumed that the patient's postpartum period caused increased coagulability, which contributed to the ischemic stroke. It is important to recognize that abnormal cardiac function and morphology due to cardiac sarcoidosis and increased coagulability during the postpartum period may contribute to ischemic stroke.
