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

Bow Hunter's syndrome is extremely rare, which is mainly caused by mechanical vertebral artery occlusion or stenosis during head and neck rotation or hyperextension. Herein, we describe the case of a 19-year-old man without a history of trauma who presented with dizziness, binocular blackness, and disturbance of consciousness after looking up when cleaning the classroom. Subsequent imaging findings revealed the blood flow of the C2 segment of the contralateral vertebral artery was interrupted when the patient turned his head to 1 side. Such patients with normal CT angiography of the head and neck scan will show that the head and neck blood vessels are normal, which will affect the prognosis of patients. This case highlights the importance and implications of dynamic CT angiography of the head and neck in the diagnosis of Bow Hunter's syndrome.
