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

Aberrant vertebral artery (VA) origins are uncommon, and those arising from the carotid bulb are exceedingly rare. We report a 79-year-old man with a right thalamic stroke and subsequent amaurosis fugax that was found to have severe right carotid bulb and internal carotid artery stenoses, as well as an aberrant VA arising from the bulb. He underwent carotid endarterectomy including eversion endarterectomy of the VA and had no recurrence of amaurosis fugax or posterior circulation symptoms at the 1-year follow-up. We also present a comprehensive review of the literature, focusing on symptomatic cases and those arising from the carotid bulb.
