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 a case with acute small infarct of the left middle cerebral artery in a 72-year-old man with atrial fibrillation documented by MRI and MR angiography. One hour later, he lost consciousness and CT with CT angiography revealed bilateral hyperdense middle cerebral arteries due to occlusion of the M1 segments. Mechanical thrombectomy of the right middle cerebral artery was successfully performed. During that time, thrombosis on the left side had progressed to carotid T occlusion, which was recanalized as well. The patient had a good outcome with slight aphasia and mild paresis of the left hand and could be transferred to rehabilitation 2 weeks later.
