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

Trifurcation is rare anatomical variant of the common carotid artery (CCA) termination. Knowledge of such alteration may prevent from the unintentional complications and influence on the course of various invasive medical procedures carried in the neck region. The best way to assess anatomy of neck arteries is computed tomography angiography (CTA). In this article we present a case of 64-year old male patient, who was admitted to the department with a chronic headaches and dizziness. CTA revealed a trifurcation of the right common carotid artery into: internal carotid artery and two branches of external carotid artery. The aneurysm of the proximal part of Vertebral Artery was also observed and it was considered as a cause of the symptoms which should not be related to the anatomical variety of the CCA.
