Vertebrobasilar artery dissection manifesting as Millard-Gubler syndrome in a young ischemic stroke patient: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundMillard-Gubler syndrome (MGS) is caused by a lesion in the brainstem at the level of the facial nerve nucleus, and it is also a rare ventral pontine syndrome. Vertebrobasilar artery dissection (VAD) is an uncommon cause of ischemic stroke. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report on the coexistence of MGS and VAD in a young acute ischemic stroke patient. CASE SUMMARY: We herein describe an unusual case of young acute ischemic stroke patient, presenting with acute right peripheral facial palsy, right abducens palsy, and contralateral hemihypesthesia, manifesting as MGS. After receiving dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel, as well as rosuvastatin, the patient recovered significantly. The high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated a diagnosis of VAD.
conclusionOur finding further demonstrated that high-resolution MRI is a useful technique to early detect underlying dissection in posterior circulation ischemic stroke.
