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

Internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) represents the cause of ictus cerebri in about 20% of all cases of cerebral infarction among the young adult population. ICAD could involve the extracranial and intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA). It could be spontaneous (SICAD) or traumatic (TICAD). It has been estimated that carotid injuries could complicate the 0,32% of cases of general blunt trauma and the percentage seems to be higher in cases of severe multiple traumas. TICAD is diagnosed when neurological symptoms have already occurred, and it could have devastating consequences, from permanent neurological impairment to death. Thus, even if it is a rare condition, a prompt diagnosis is essential. There are no specific guidelines regarding TICAD screening. Nevertheless, TICAD should be taken into consideration when a young adult or middle-aged patient presents after severe blunt trauma. Understanding which kind of traumatic event is most associated with TICAD could help clinicians to direct their diagnostic process. Herein, a review of the literature concerning TICAD has been carried out to highlight its correlation with specific traumatic events. TICAD is mostly correlated to motor vehicle accidents (94/227), specifically to car accidents (39/94), and to direct or indirect head and cervical trauma (76/227). As well, a case report is presented to discuss TICAD forensic implications.
