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

The Percheron artery (artery of Percheron, AOP) is a rare variant vessel. Its acute occlusion can cause a bilateral symmetrical thalamic stroke; typical symptoms of bilateral paramedian thalamic infarcts due to occlusion of AOP are vertical gaze palsy, memory impairment, confusion, drowsiness, hypersomnolence, or coma. We present the MR imaging findings in two cases with cerebral infarction caused by Percheron artery occlusion. Due to the difficulty in the diagnosis of acute Percheron arterial infarction, early conservative treatment is used. The prognosis of the disease is poor, with few patients completely rehabilitating. Therefore, clinicians must understand the characteristics of the disease, provide early diagnosis and administer timely and effective treatment to reduce the patient's disability rate and fatality rate and therefore improve the quality of life of patients. The patient's prognosis has extraordinary significance.
