Transient ischemic attack in the practice of neurology in a low- and middle-income country.
Article in Arquivos de neuro-psiquiatria, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a critical vascular event that often precedes strokes. Despite its significance, management varies widely across physicians.To evaluate the knowledge and practices of Brazilian physicians regarding TIA diagnosis and management.A survey was conducted among members of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology. It included questions about demographic information, TIA management practices, and knowledge of guidelines.While most respondents were neurologists or residents, there was significant variability in hospital admission, diagnostic testing, and treatment strategies. Many physicians relied on risk stratification tools but did not consistently follow guidelines for diagnostic imaging or medication.These findings highlight the need for improved education and standardized protocols for TIA management in Brazil. Implementing public health policies to address these gaps could significantly reduce stroke recurrence rates and improve patient outcomes.
