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

Carotid blowout syndrome is a rare clinical conditions with a high mortality rate, especially in patients with head and neck tumors who have received radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We present our patient who had hemangioendothelioma of the neck for 5 years and therefore received radiotherapy, fistulized to the skin on the neck and active bleeding out of the fistula area. In the radiological imaging of the patient, vessel wall irregularities in the common carotid artery (CCA) and accompanying pseudoaneurysm with a diameter of 3 cm were detected, and endovascular treatment was performed. After the patient passed the balloon occlusion test, first the proximal internal carotid artery was closed with coils. Then, the balloon was inflated proximal to the CCA and a 10% diluted glue-lipiodol mixture was injected into the entire diseased CCA bed. Closure of the distal with coil and proximal with balloon prevented the risk of off-target embolization of the glue.
