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
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of ischemic stroke. Patients with undiagnosed AF lack the stroke prevention provided by oral anticoagulants. The aim of this study was to compare the in-hospital mortality rate between ischemic stroke patients diagnosed with AF Material and methods: We identified patients admitted to the Neurology Center during the years 2013-2014 with acute ischemic stroke and AF. We analyzed in-hospital outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed AF and those with known AF. The study endpoint was death during hospitalization. Results: The study included 2,000 patients with acute ischemic stroke, out of whom 579 (29%) patients were diagnosed with AF. AF was newly diagnosed in 123 (21.2%) patients (new-AF group), while 456 (78.8%) patients had a history of AF (previous-AF group). The mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission was 7.2 points in the new-AF group and 3.7 in the previous-AF group ( Conclusions: Newly diagnosed AF in ischemic stroke patients significantly worsens prognosis compared to patients previously diagnosed with AF. Early detection of latent AF and subsequent use of anticoagulation are important in preventing severe stroke.
