Comparison of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in the thalamus.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2026. 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
Background: The thalamus plays a crucial role in brain function, and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in this region can lead to various neurological symptoms. This study aimed to identify differences in risk factors, functional outcomes, and neuroimaging markers between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes of the thalamus. Methods: Patients with acute thalamic stroke were classified into a thalamic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and a thalamic infarction group (49 and 88 patients, respectively). The thalamic infarction group was further categorized into a good [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score: 0-2] and a poor (mRS score: 3-6) outcome subgroup. Neuroimaging markers, clinical records, and laboratory results were compared. Results: Compared to the thalamic infarction group, the thalamic ICH group had a higher proportion of severe white matter hyperintensities (WMHs; Fazekas scale grade 3: 23.3% Conclusions: Patients with thalamic ICH had worse prognosis than those with thalamic infarction, with MBs being an independent thalamic ICH-related factor. High-grade WMHs were independently associated with poor outcomes in patients with thalamic infarctions. Therefore, small vessel disease-related imaging information can be used for stroke diagnosis and prognostic assessment.
