Bilateral Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion, an Unusual Clinical Entity in a Young Adult.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion (BICAO) is a rare disease leading to serious cerebrovascular disease and complications including recurrent ischemic stroke or death. There are very few cases reported on BICAO, especially among young adults. The clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic to fatal ischemic stroke depending upon the presence of adequate collateral blood flow. Here we report a case of BICAO in a 31-year-old female who presented with intermittent left-sided hemiparesis for one day and was subsequently found to have complete occlusion of the bilateral intracranial internal carotid arteries on CT angiography (CTA). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain showed sub-acute right middle cerebral artery (MCA), acute left middle cerebral artery, and anterior cerebral artery infarcts (ACA). Being outside the window for thrombolysis, she was successfully treated with balloon angioplasty of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) and started on dual antiplatelet therapy. The case illustrates the importance of evaluating for cerebrovascular disease when someone presents with stroke-like symptoms even in the young adult population, as prompt treatment can be lifesaving.
