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

Ostial common carotid artery (CCA) stenosis is rare, compared to extracranial internal carotid artery bifurcation lesions. In cases of a tandem lesion, the proximal lesion usually involves the extracranial internal carotid artery, and the ostial CCA is rarely implicated. A 69-year-old woman who underwent 3 months of antiplatelet therapy for asymptomatic, right ostial, severely calcified CCA stenosis presented with sudden onset left hemiparesis. Radiographic examination revealed an ostial CCA-intracranial artery tandem lesion. After intracranial revascularization using a clot retrieval stent, we performed the endovascular treatment with a balloon-mounted stent using an embolic protection device. This procedure may be superior to others because it is possible to achieve early intracranial revascularization and prevent distal embolism during the complete treatment of proximal lesions.
