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

We report the case of a 70-year-old woman who presented with an acute ischemic stroke involving the left frontal operculum secondary to an M2 dissection and a concomitant completely thrombosed aneurysm of the left distal middle cerebral artery. Initial imaging work-up was inconclusive due to the lack of typical radiographic features and only repeated imaging studies pointed towards the presence of an arterial dissection combined with a completely thrombosed aneurysm. The aneurysm was partially clipped and wrapped with excellent clinical result at 1-year follow-up. The clinical, imaging and therapeutic challenges of this rare entity are discussed.
