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 and Objectives: Neuroanatomical localization is foundational to stroke practice but remains difficult across training levels. We evaluated whether LouiS, an AI educational platform using retrieval-augmented generation over a curated stroke-syndrome knowledge base, improves the proportion of correct responses for neuroanatomical localization and stroke-syndrome recognition, with a focus on its potential as a teaching aid. Methods: This two-phase study recruited 80 participants from 3 Brazilian university-affiliated centers. Phase 1 used web-app allocation with browser-fingerprint persistence to keep each participant in the same test condition, with or without LouiS, across repeated access. Phase 2 used a within-participant paired design in which 62 participants evaluated case-matched vignettes first without and then with LouiS. Participant-level scores used the actual number of scorable responses in each condition. The allocation protocol required exposure to higher-difficulty vignettes and supplemented them with randomly selected cases. The primary outcome was the proportion of correct responses against a consensus reference standard. Results: Across the pooled response-wise dataset including phase 1 and available phase 2 responses, correct responses increased from 63.4% without LouiS to 71.9% with LouiS (absolute difference 8.5 percentage points; 95% CI 2.79-14.20; generalized estimating equation OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.11-1.67; Discussion: Use of LouiS was associated with improved performance in neuroanatomical localization and stroke-syndrome recognition during case-based testing. The findings support LouiS as an educational aid for neuroanatomical reasoning and continuing medical education. Knowledge retention, behavior change, and real-world clinical outcomes require separate prospective evaluation.
