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

A 31-year-old woman presented with sudden onset of weakness in her left upper limb. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute cerebral infarctions in the right frontal and parietal lobes. Magnetic resonance angiography showed stenosis in the proximal portions of the bilateral middle cerebral arteries and terminal portions of the bilateral internal carotid arteries. The patient also complained of thyrotoxic symptoms, such as tachycardia, goiter, and fine finger tremor. She was diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke due to moyamoya vasculopathy (MMV) associated with Basedow disease. The patient's thyroid hormone status normalized and intracranial artery stenosis gradually improved. However, after 6 months, she developed transient left hemiparesis during the 7th week of gestation. Her thyroid function deteriorated, and MMV progressed. Then, MMV improved again with the normalization of her thyroid function. This case shows that MMV associated with Basedow disease could worsen or improve depending on the thyroid hormone status.
