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

Extracranial carotid artery dissection represents up to 22% of acute neurovascular disease in young patients. There are no specific guidelines regarding indication for endovascular management of carotid artery dissection with stenting and its complications. We describe three patients with carotid artery dissection and associated dissecting aneurysm who underwent endovascular stenting with the multilayer flow modulator. At 12-month follow-up, the dissecting aneurysms were resolved, and positive clinical outcome was achieved in all patients. Our results suggest that the multilayer flow modulator may be an alternative option for endovascular interventions in patients with carotid artery dissection and pseudoaneurysms because it favors laminar flow, and it may promote spontaneous healing of the wall by progressively reducing the vascular stress in the aneurysm wall. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
