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

Background and Purpose: Diagnosing cervical artery dissection (CAD) is still a challenge based on the current radiographic criteria. This study aimed to assess the value of three-dimensional high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (3D HRMRI) in the detection of the signs of CAD and its diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Patients with CAD from January 2016 to January 2021 were recruited from our 3D HRMRI database. The signs of dissection (intramural hematomas, intimal flap, double lumen), length and location of the dissection, thickness of the intramural hematoma, intraluminal thrombus, and percentage of dilation of the outer contour of the dissection on 3D HRMRI were assessed. Results: Fourteen patients with 16 CADs, including 12 carotid CADs and 4 vertebral CADs, were finally diagnosed in this study. On 3D HRMRI, intramural hematomas were detected in 13/16 (81.3%) lesions with high sensitivity (100%) and high specificity (100%). Intimal flaps were found in 9/16 (56.3%) lesions with moderate sensitivity (64.3%) and high specificity (88.9%). Double lumen signs were observed in 4/16 (25.0%) lesions with high sensitivity (80.0%) and high specificity (100%). In addition, concomitant intraluminal thrombus were detected in 4/16 (25.0%) lesions with high sensitivity (80.0%) and high specificity (100%). The mean length of dissection was (25.1 ± 13.7) mm. The mean thickness of the intramural hematoma was (4.3 ± 2.3) mm. The mean percentage of dilation for the outer contour of the dissection was (151.3 ± 28.6)%. Conclusion: The 3D HRMRI enables detection of the dissecting signs, such as intramural hematoma, intimal flap, double lumen, and intraluminal thrombus with high sensitivity and specificity, suggesting a useful, and non-invasive tool for definitively diagnosing CAD.
