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

Although ischaemic strokes are common worldwide, strokes in young adults are rare. Cardioembolism is a frequent cause of ischaemic strokes, often arising from atrial fibrillation or, less commonly, underlying structural heart defects. Primary cardiac tumours are commonly associated with embolic strokes. Although papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a rare cardiac tumor, it is one of the most common primary cardiac tumours that causes embolic strokes. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman who presented with sudden-onset right arm weakness. Subsequent investigations, including echocardiography, revealed a papillary mass consistent with PFE.
