Bilateral middle cerebral artery occlusions: Case report detailing successful treatment with timely mechanical thrombectomy.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Bilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion is a very rare and dangerous pathology, accounting for less than 1% of stroke presentations. Unless treated, the natural course of the disease leads to coma or death and thus is extremely important to be detected early and managed appropriately. We present the case of a 69-year-old lady who woke with right-sided weakness and was found to have a left middle cerebral artery stroke on arrival to her local hospital, which progressed to bilateral paresis and dysarthria whilst on transfer to a tertiary hospital for definitive management. The patient underwent emergent mechanical thrombectomy of bilateral middle cerebral artery occlusions and made a complete recovery. This case emphasis the importance of the early recognition of rare bilateral middle cerebral artery occlusions and demonstrates that timely and effective treatment can have favorable outcomes for patients.
