The Silent Culprit: Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Masquerading as Cryptogenic Stroke.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
We present a case of a previously healthy 20-year-old male patient who experienced recurrent arterial thromboembolic events without identifiable risk factors. Extensive evaluation ultimately revealed paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare clonal hematopoietic disorder. While PNH is classically associated with venous thrombosis, arterial thromboembolic events are uncommon and may obscure the diagnosis, especially in young patients without underlying vascular risk factors. Clinicians should maintain awareness of PNH's variable presentation and its potential to masquerade as more common thrombotic or autoimmune conditions. Early recognition and appropriate therapy can prevent further complications and improve patient outcomes. This case contributes to the growing recognition of arterial events as a possible manifestation of PNH and reinforces the value of comprehensive diagnostic evaluation in cases of recurrent stroke without an obvious cause.
