Cryptogenic stroke: definitions and management.

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
The term cryptogenic strokes refers to ischemic strokes that, after thorough evaluation, do not meet criteria for any of 4 designated major subtypes: stenosis due to large or medium artery atherosclerosis, cardiac pathology that could lead to embolism, presumed intracranial small artery disease (lacunar stroke), and other less common specific conditions. The term embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS) was introduced to further refine this classification by specifying the necessary diagnostic evaluation and exclusionary conditions. In patients with cryptogenic stroke/ESUS, nonstenotic atherosclerosis and its attendant risk factors are common. Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated no benefit of oral anticoagulants over aspirin in preventing recurrent stroke in these patients. Patients with cryptogenic stroke/ESUS should be treated with aspirin and aggressive atherosclerosis risk factor management.
