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
Background: Stroke is ultimately the result of several insults to the brain and cardiovascular systems, as has been repeatedly demonstrated. These risk factors influence the type and severity of cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), as well as the timing of strokes. Due to significant variations in lifestyle among inhabitants of different communities and regions within the Indian population, the risk factors also differ. This study aims to examine the clinico-radiological profile, risk factors, aetiology and prognosis in patients with acute CVAs. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for 18 months in the Department of General Medicine, Civil Hospital, Aizawl. The sample included 109 patients with acute CVAs confirmed by radiological imaging and clinical examinations, who were admitted to the hospital from September 2022. The type of stroke, site, extent of lesion, associated anomalies and prognosis of the patients were recorded using a predesigned questionnaire. Descriptive statistics in the form of frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics in the form of Chi-square test were used. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 61.67 ± 16.18 years. Forty-two participants were female and 67 participants were male. The ischaemic type of CVA (77.1%) was more than the haemorrhagic type of CVA (22.9%). The middle cerebral artery alone was the commonest site of lesion (68.8%). Complete recovery was observed in 32.1% of the participants, 56.9% had partial recovery and 11% unfortunately died. Complete recovery was observed more in participants with ischaemic type of CVA (35.7%) than haemorrhagic type of CVA (20%) and this was statistically significant ( Conclusion: Patients with CVA with underlying co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, alcohol intake and history of seizures have a poorer prognosis, and hence concerted efforts are required to curb all these factors.
