Stroke Management in the Intensive Care Unit: Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke Care.
Review in NeuroSci, 2025. 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
Stroke is the second-largest cause of death and disability worldwide, and many patients require intensive care for airway compromise, hemodynamic instability, cerebral edema, or systemic complications. This review summarizes key aspects of ICU management in both acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and hemorrhagic stroke (HS). Priorities are airway protection, oxygenation, individualized blood pressure targets, and strict control of temperature and glucose. Neurological monitoring and prompt management of intracranial pressure (ICP), together with timely surgical interventions (hemicraniectomy or hematoma evacuation), are central to acute care. Seizures are treated promptly, while routine prophylaxis is not recommended. Prevention of aspiration pneumonia, venous thromboembolism, infections, and other intensive care unit (ICU) complications is essential, along with early nutrition, mobilization, and rehabilitation. Prognosis and decisions about intensity of care require shared discussions with families and involvement of palliative services, when appropriate. Many practices remain based on observational data or extrapolation from other populations, underlining the need for stroke-specific clinical trials. Outcomes are consistently better when patients are managed in specialized stroke or neurocritical care units with a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
