Recurrent Transient Ischemic Attacks While on Hemodialysis: 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
Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) remain a crucial cause of morbidity and mortality while posing a significant burden to public health systems worldwide. Its incidence is higher in elderly patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis due to concomitant conditions (advanced age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension), altered cerebral blood flow, and frequent use of anticoagulants during hemodialysis treatments. In this report, we discuss a case of an 85-year-old female patient with ESRD on hemodialysis who started having recurrent episodes of transient ischemic attacks (TIA) that coincided with her dialysis treatments. Cerebral blood flow shunting during dialysis sessions was thought to be the likely cause of these events. After multiple failed attempts to convince the patient to transition to peritoneal dialysis, her dialysis prescription was modified to shorter duration treatments. With this modification, she experienced no further TIA episodes. This highlights the importance of an individualized approach to management decisions when there is a lack of clear treatment guidelines.
