Bilateral cerebral peduncle infarct in a paediatric intensive care unit patient.
Article in SA journal of radiology, 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 isolated cerebral peduncle infarction is a rare stroke, previously reported only in adults. This report describes a paediatric burns patient with preceding cardiac arrest who developed subtle neurology. Imaging revealed bilateral isolated peduncle infarcts with hypoplasia of the left posterior communicating and vertebral arteries. Despite supportive care, the patient deteriorated and demised. This case highlights the vulnerability of peduncular perforators to haemodynamic instability and emphasises the need for early imaging in the detection of paediatric stroke. Contribution: Isolated bilateral cerebral peduncle infarction is a rare form of stroke, particularly in the paediatric population, and is associated with a poor prognosis. Imaging plays an important role in the early diagnosis of this type of stroke.
