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

''TransIent Perivascular Inflammation of the Carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome" is an unusual cause of unilateral neck pain, due to a nonspecific inflammation of the carotid artery. This entity has been for long known as "carotidynia" and described as a syndrome rather than a distinct pathologic entity. Recently, the presence of structural abnormalities of the carotid artery wall has been demonstrated, leading to the introduction of radiological criteria which, in the appropriate clinical context, allow to diagnose TIPIC syndrome. TIPIC syndrome is a rather rare disease and, since its first description by Fay in 1927, only a small series of patients have been published. The interest of our case lies in the fact that diagnosis and follow-up were assessed on ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, demonstrating that a correlation between clinical evolution and radiological findings does exist. In addition, DWI sequence was performed at the time of diagnosis and at resolution. To our knowledge, such an assessment has never been reported in the previous literature.
