1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Acute neurological deficits following seizures can be mistaken for an acute stroke. Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP) reveals distinct patterns in acute ischemic stroke. This case series outlines CTP patterns in 4 patients with postictal neurological deficits (Todd's Paralysis) who were initially misdiagnosed with acute ischemic stroke. Two of the 4 cases displayed CTP patterns resembling ischemic stroke with a penumbra. Distinguishing between acute ischemic stroke and postictal Todd's paralysis based solely on CTP is challenging.
