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

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) increases the risk of cerebrovascular events due to vascular changes, resulting in the weakening of the vessel walls. Moreover, patients with SLE have more incidence of arterial lesions such as dissections. Internal carotid dissection (ICA) is an infrequent cause of ischemic stroke, representing 2% of all ischemic events. We present a case of ischemic stroke, caused by a spontaneous dissection of intracranial ICA, treated with endovascular stent implantation, in a 22-year-old woman affected by SLE, newly diagnosed. ICA dissection with consequent ischemic stroke is an unusual first presentation of SLE disease. Our case highlights how, despite an infrequent occurrence, ICA dissection should be considered for young adults presenting with ischemic stroke, especially in those affected by SLE. This paper also shows the good technical result in the use of stenting in case of intracranial ICA dissection.
