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

Capsular warning syndrome is a neurologic emergency marked by recurrent, stereotyped lacunar transient ischaemic attacks with a high risk of early infarction. We report a case of a 72-year-old male who presented with three episodes of left-sided weakness within 24 h, consistent with classical capsular warning syndrome, culminating in a right internal capsule infarct. He received timely thrombolysis, followed by dual antiplatelet therapy and atorvastatin. Early transfer to inpatient rehabilitation enabled targeted upper and lower limb recovery using validated protocols, including the Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Programme protocol and proprioceptive balance training. The patient achieved near-complete functional independence by discharge. This case highlights the importance of integrating acute stroke management with structured multidisciplinary rehabilitation to optimise outcomes in capsular warning syndrome.
