Five-Year Prognosis of Transient Ischemic Attack and Transient Global Amnesia in a Finnish Population.
Article in Neuroepidemiology, 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
backgroundTransient ischemic attack (TIA) often precedes the ischemic stroke and, therefore, requires urgent treatment, whereas transient global amnesia (TGA) is a benign condition but often causes concern to patients and their relatives. The longitudinal prognosis of TIA or TGA has not recently been reported in Finland. In this study, we studied the 5-year prognosis of TIA and TGA concerning especially stroke, TIA, and mortality.
methodsThe original study population includes 293 patients with TIA and 56 patients with TGA diagnosed in Kuopio University Hospital (KUH) in 2017. Original data were collected from the hospital records of KUH in 2017 and abovementioned 5-year outcome, and also, cardiovascular events were studied using national registers provided by Findata. SPSS and R were used in statistical analyses.
resultsThe risk of stroke was 29.4% (n = 86) after TIA and 7.1% (n = 4) after TGA within 5 years after index event. Among the TIA patients, ABCD
conclusionsPatients with TIA had a significantly higher risk for stroke, recurrent TIA, and death than patients with TGA. Factors associated with cardiovascular outcomes require more research to prevent recurrent events after TIA.
