Blunt carotid injury with thrombotic occlusion: Is an intervention always required for best outcome?
Article in Trauma case reports, 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
Blunt cerebrovascular injuries are rare, comprises of 0.08 to 0.33% of all traumatic blunt injuries. Depending on the grade of severity, they may heal with minimal consequences or may lead to debilitating and devastating stroke. Surgically accessible lesions are infrequent and hence endovascular management is preferred modality for high-grade lesions. We hereby present a case of complete thrombosis of the common carotid artery, which couldn't receive either surgical or endovascular treatment due to low resource settings. The patient developed a stroke after 18 h of trauma, which, however, recovered completely and dramatically within 96 h. To the best of our knowledge, such rapid and complete recovery from stroke secondary to blunt carotid injury managed non-operatively hasn't been reported in literature so far. Our report adds to the scarce but growing body of evidence recommending conservative management in BCVI in absence of enlarging pseudoaneurysm and dissection with near-complete stenosis.
