1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 report on the case of a 33-year-old male patient who was brought to the emergency room of our hospital after suffering a high-energy trauma due to an automobile accident. Besides a scaphoid fracture there were no signs of any neurological deficits. After several hours without clinical symptoms the patient developed dysarthria as the first manifestation of local cerebral ischemia based on a traumatic dissection of the internal carotid artery. Under systemic high-dose heparin therapy, fast and complete remission of all neurological disorders could be achieved. In the course of time a dissecting aneurysm developed. Temporary anticoagulation with phenprocoumon was started in the meantime and no further complications have appeared up to now. Besides presenting this absorbing case, this article highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic regime in cases of a traumatic dissection of supra-aortal arteries for rapid and adequate management of this rare but potentially dangerous complication.
