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

backgroundPersistent vertebral artery occlusion caused by compression of cervical facet joint originated osteophyte is exceptional rare. The authors sought to achieve adequate decompression of the vertebral artery (VA) with less stability decrease and movement restriction via the anterior approach, and to the authors' knowledge, no case of anterior decompression of this condition has been reported, and combination of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography in the setting of VA decompression is also rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 77-year-old man presented continuous vertigo, unsteady gait and dysphagia with no relationship to the head movement. Preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) and digital substraction angiography (DSA) examination revealed the left vertebral artery was severely compressed at C

conclusionsThe authors' therapeutic strategy of anterior decompression was successful in treating VA compression due to facet joint overgrowth with adequate exposure, no stability decrease and movement restriction, and lower rates of neck pain and blood loss.
