Ischemic Stroke as an Initial Manifestation of Silent, Evolved Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a rare initial manifestation of silent, evolved myocardial infarction (MI). AIS presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in patients with multiple comorbidities. Herein, we report a 64-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes, who was admitted due to sudden neurological deficits without chest pain. The initial workup revealed an Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) of 10/10 and no hypodense areas. Further investigations showed an ST-elevation MI without typical symptoms, indicating that a silent, evolved MI was the underlying cause. The 24-hour repeat head CT scan revealed a recent right lenticuloradial ischemic infarct. Multidisciplinary management focused on risk stratification, balancing antithrombotic therapy, and initiating early rehabilitation. This case emphasizes the importance of considering silent MI in AIS of unclear etiology and the need for individualized, multidisciplinary care.
