Beyond Atrial Fibrillation: Prioritizing Stroke Evaluation in Resource-Limited Settings.
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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) accounts for the majority of cardioembolic strokes. In addition to AF screening, echocardiography is recommended to evaluate structural heart diseases including congenital anomalies. In resource-limited settings, in-hospital echocardiography for all stroke patients may not be feasible. However, careful assessment of readily available clinical parameters, such as bedside examination, electrocardiography, and chest X-ray, can offer essential clues to guide prioritization of echocardiography in selected patients and facilitate timely management. We present a case of recurrent cardioembolic stroke in a patient with AF, who was later found to have an underlying atrial septal defect, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive approach beyond AF in stroke evaluation.
