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

backgroundCervical arterial tortuosity is not uncommon in patients with spontaneous carotid artery dissections (CADs), but the tortuosity often precludes endovascular stent reconstruction. The authors report 2 cases of emergency recanalization of a carotid tonsillar loop dissection using a Pipeline embolization device (PED). OBSERVATIONS: Two patients presented with symptomatic CAD involving tonsillar looping of the cervical internal carotid artery (ICA). Although the tonsillar loop prevented navigation of the carotid and peripheral stent delivery system, a PED was easily navigated and successfully deployed, resulting in successful recanalization of a looped ICA. LESSONS: Emergency recanalization of a cervical CAD using a PED is a feasible alternative for treating a cervical CAD associated with tonsillar loops.
