Middle Cerebral Artery Ischemic Stroke Occurring in a Woman With Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Brain metastasis refers to the spread of cancer cells from a primary tumor to the brain. A rare but serious complication of brain metastasis is middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. This report discusses a case involving a 42-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who presented to the emergency department with symptoms of weakness, headache, mouth deviation, and dysarthria that had lasted for two hours. Prior to this incident, she had been in her usual state of health. Upon physical examination, it was noted that the patient had left-sided hemiparesis. A brain CT scan with contrast showed no changes compared to her baseline imaging. However, a stroke protocol CT angiogram and brain perfusion scan indicated an acute infarction in the right MCA. To treat her condition, complete recanalization was achieved successfully through mechanical thrombectomy. Following the procedure, a post-mechanical thrombectomy protocol was established, and the patient was admitted to the ICU. To reduce the risk of stroke recurrence, aspirin monotherapy was initiated. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach when managing ischemic stroke in patients with metastatic cancer.
