Calcified cerebral emboli-A case series.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Calcified Cerebral Emboli (CCE) was first reported in 1981 and is an increasingly common yet under-reported cause of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We present 2 rare cases of acute ischemic stroke due to calcified cerebral emboli. Calcified cerebral emboli are identified on CT scan of the brain with a follow-up MRI to show area of ischemia. Initially thought to be caused due to cardiac and/or endovascular procedures, prior research has found it can occur spontaneously as well. Treatment involves standard medical treatment for stroke, however neurosurgical procedures such as thrombectomy can be considered. We present this case series for clinicians to be aware of what is an increasingly common cause of acute ischemic stroke, especially in high-risk patients. We also applied the diagnostic criteria as proposed by Menounos et al.
