When a Large Left Hemisphere Stroke is All Right for Language, Praxis, and Visual Attention: A Case Report.

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: To describe a rare case of large left hemisphere (LH) middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke with intact language, praxis, visuospatial cognition, and attention, suggesting lateralization of all these functions to the intact right hemisphere (RH). Methods: A 53-year-old right-handed woman who had a stroke at age 42 was enrolled in a study of long-term stroke outcomes. She underwent standardized behavioral assessments and functional MRI (fMRI) with a visual field test and an adaptive semantic matching task. Results: Despite a 432 cm Discussion: This case suggests that language, praxis, and visuospatial functions can simultaneously lateralize to the RH. Although previous cases report reciprocal hemispheric reorganization, such as in crossed aphasia, this case of "crossed non-aphasia" supports the view that lateralization of functions can occur independently. Clinically, this rare pattern of atypical lateralization should be considered when expected poststroke deficits are absent.
