A case of acute embolic stroke resulting from endocarditis and aortic aneurysm concurrent with aortic dissection in a healthy young patient: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundAcute ischemic stroke caused by septic embolism due to endocarditis is a rare but serious condition, especially in young patients without known risk factors. We present the case of a 31-year-old healthy Gilaks man from Iran with a complaint of fever and chills. Initial assessments identified an acute embolic stroke. Additional tests such as brain magnetic resonance imaging and transesophageal echocardiography revealed endocarditis with an aortic aneurysm and dissection. Successful Bentall repair of the aortic root was performed at Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran. He left the hospital in good health. Follow-up outpatient visits in our neurology clinic confirmed a stable recovery.
conclusionClinicians should consider endocarditis and aortic dissection as potential causes of embolic stroke, even in young, healthy patients. Early diagnosis and management are necessary to improve outcomes.
