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

introductionIn 1937, W.W. Eagle first described two clinical cases of elongated styloid process causing compression of adjacent anatomical structures. A case of left internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, Eagle syndrome (bilateral), ICA tortuosity, and occlusion of the right carotid arteries is presented. REPORT: A 67 year old man was referred following ischaemic stroke two months previously. Computed tomography (CT) revealed the pathologies described. Intervention was performed under general anaesthesia. The digastric muscle was transected, and the styloid process was resected. Carotid endarterectomy with end to end anastomosis between the crossed ends of the ICA was carried out using a temporary shunt due to occlusion of the contralateral carotid arteries. The patient was discharged on the third post-operative day. DISCUSSION: The case described shows that one stage surgical treatment of ICA stenosis, coiling, and Eagle syndrome gives good results.
