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

Purpose: To report a case of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) that presented after internal carotid artery stenting despite the use of a filter embolic protection device. Observations: A 74-year-old man presented one week following transfemoral stenting of the right internal carotid artery for high-grade stenosis. A filter-type embolic protection device was used during the stenting procedure to prevent distal embolization of atherosclerotic debris. Dilated examination of the right eye revealed a parafoveal gray lesion in the macula and optical coherence tomography showed a corresponding placoid hyperreflective band at the level of the inner nuclear layer consistent with PAMM. The patient was asymptomatic. At 10 weeks follow up the PAMM lesion was resolved. Conclusions: PAMM occurred following internal carotid artery stenting despite the use of a filter embolic protection device, likely due to embolic debris passing through the filter device or debris released while the filter was in a collapsed state. The PAMM lesion was small and resolved without visual sequelae.
