Bilateral Thalamic Stroke Following Cardiac Arrest Due to Massive Saddle Pulmonary Embolism.
Article in Cureus, 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
Bilateral thalamic infarctions are rare, but can be seen in patients experiencing occlusion or hypoperfusion. Saddle emboli can be very dangerous, leading to cardiac arrest. The occurrence of both in a single patient is an incredibly rare and dangerous entity, infrequently found in the literature. We present a case of a bilateral thalamic stroke in a 55-year-old male who experienced cardiac arrest secondary to a massive saddle pulmonary embolism. This case highlights the rare occurrence of bilateral thalamic infarction in the context of global cerebral hypoperfusion following cardiopulmonary compromise.
