Bilateral thalamic infarction in a young adult: The artery of Percheron conundrum.
Article in The neuroradiology journal, 2026. 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
Artery of Percheron (AOP) infarction is a rare form of ischemic stroke resulting from the occlusion of a single arterial trunk that supplies both sides of the paramedian thalamus and the midbrain. Its occlusion can lead to bilateral and symmetrical infarctions of the paramedian thalami, and occasionally, the midbrain. Due to its atypical presentation, this condition is often diagnosed late. We report a case of a 39-year-old male with no significant medical history who arrived at the emergency department with drowsiness and confusion. During the physical examination, the patient was drowsy but responsive, with poor speech. Motor deficits in all four limbs were not apparent. Vital signs, routine blood tests, and an initial CT scan were unremarkable. The diagnosis was confirmed the following day through a subsequent CT scan and brain MRI. This case emphasizes the diagnostic challenge posed by AOP infarction and highlights the importance of considering this condition even when initial CT imaging appears normal.
