Usefulness of multiphase computed tomography angiography in a patient with transient ischemic attack in the hyperacute phase: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2017. 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
rationalePatients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) have the possibility of developing stroke in the future. To prevent recurrent TIA or future stroke, identifying the cause of TIA is important. However, about two-third of patients with TIA have negative findings on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).We present a case of TIA, the cause of which was identified using multiphase computed tomography angiography (MCTA) in the hyperacute phase of the disease. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient was a 57-year-old man who was admitted to the emergency department for right-side weakness persisting for 1 hour. DIAGNOSES: Occlusion of the proximal M3 segment of the left middle cerebral artery territory was found on the initial MCTA. OUTCOMES: The weakness completely resolved at 2 hours after symptom onset, and there was no acute infarction on the initial diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the same day. Follow-up MCTA on the next day showed recanalization of the left M3 segment. Follow-up diffusion-weighted MRI showed focal acute infarction in the left middle cerebral artery territory. LESSONS: MCTA could identify distal occlusion of the anterior circulation in patients with cardioembolic TIA in the hyperacute phase with negative DWI findings.
