Comparative Outcomes of Paediatric Stroke in Supratentorial and Infratentorial Regions: A 12-Year Hospital-Based Study.
Article in Iranian journal of child neurology, 2025. 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
Objectives: The clinical outcomes of pediatric stroke in patients can vary significantly depending on the affected brain region. Supratentorial and infratentorial strokes may present different clinical features and prognoses. Understanding these differences is crucial for developing targeted treatment strategies and improving patient care. Accordingly, this study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients under 18 years old with supratentorial and infratentorial strokes. Materials & Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 100 children under 18 years old hospitalized due to stroke at Ali Asghar and Rasoul Akram hospitals from 2011 to 2023 and followed for 24 months. The motor and cognitive impairments were assessed 24 months post-stroke using the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS), the Bayley-III Scale (for children under three years), and the Binet scale (for children over three years). Statistical analyses were performed using T-tests and Chi-square tests. The required data include age, gender, stroke type (ischemic or hemorrhagic), stroke location (supratentorial /infratentorial), and underlying conditions. Results: The mean age of the patients was 70.47 months. About 57% of the patients were older than two years, and 67% were male. Supratentorial stroke was observed in 78% of cases. No significant difference was observed in age or gender distribution between the supratentorial and infratentorial groups (P = 0.64 and P = 0.128, respectively). Outcome comparisons between the groups revealed no significant difference in Binet scores; however, children with supratentorial strokes had significantly lower Bayley scores and higher MRS scores compared to the infratentorial group (P = 0.023 and P = 0.002, respectively). Conclusion: The present findings indicate that children with supratentorial strokes may experience more severe long-term motor and cognitive impairments. Further research is needed to investigate long-term outcomes in pediatric stroke patients based on stroke location.
