[Troponin elevation in acute ischemic stroke-unspecific or acute myocardial infarction? : Diagnostics and clinical implications].
Review in Herz, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Routine determination of troponin levels is recommended for all patients with acute ischemic stroke. In 20-55% of these patients the troponin levels are elevated, which may be caused by ischemic as well as non-ischemic myocardial damage and particularly neurocardiogenic myocardial damage. In patients with acute ischemic stroke, the prevalence of previously unknown coronary heart disease is reported to be up to 27% and is prognostically relevant for these patients; however, relevant coronary stenoses are less frequently detected in stroke patients with troponin elevation compared to patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. The risk of secondary intracerebral hemorrhage due to the necessity for dual platelet aggregation inhibition illustrates the challenging indication for invasive coronary diagnostics and revascularization. Therefore, a diagnostic work-up and interdisciplinary risk evaluation appropriate to the urgency are necessary in order to be able to determine a reasonable treatment approach with timing of the intervention, type and duration of blood thinning. In addition to conventional examination methods, multimodal cardiac imaging is increasingly used for this purpose. This review article aims to provide a pragmatic and clinically oriented approach to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, taking into account the available evidence.
