Influenza-Like Illness is Associated with Increased Short-Term Risk of Cervical Artery Dissection.
Article in Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionNon-traumatic Cervical Artery Dissection (CeAD) is a leading cause of ischemic stroke in the young. Influenza-like illnesses (ILI) trigger ischemic strokes. We hypothesized that influenza and ILI are associated with CeAD.
methodsIn a case-crossover study within the New York State (NYS) Department of Health Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (2006-2014), we used ICD-9 codes to exclude major trauma and to define CeAD, influenza, and the Centers for Disease Control defined ILI. We estimated the association of ILI and influenza with CeAD by comparing their prevalence in intervals immediately prior (0-30,0-90,0-180, and 0-365 days) to CeAD (case period) to their prevalence exactly one and two years earlier (control periods). Conditional logistic regression models generated odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (OR, 95% CI). Models were adjusted for NYS estimates of influenza prevalence rates.
resultsOur sample included 3,610 cases of CeAD (mean age 52±16 years, 54.7% male, 6.2% Hispanic, 9.9% Black, 68.7% White). During case periods, 7.3% had one or more ILI. ILI was more likely within 90 days of CeAD compared to the same time interval one and two years before (0-15 days: adjusted OR 1.88, 95%CI 1.20-2.94; 0-30 days: adjusted OR 1.74, 95%CI 1.22-2.46; 0-90 days: adjusted OR 1.35, 95%CI 1.00-1.81). Influenza trended with CeAD (adjusted OR 1.86, 95%CI 0.37-9.24), but these results were not statistically significant, due to limited instances of confirmed influenza.
conclusionsILI may increase risk of CeAD for 15 days, and possibly up to three months.
