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 ischemic attack (TIA) shakes can present as epilepsy which could lead to misdiagnosis. When a patient present with neurological findings we must ensure our differentials remain broad. As a physician, we must ensure our role in analyzing the full clinical picture of our patients. We present the case of a 75-year-old man with multiple comorbidities who presented with limb shaking and seizure-like symptoms and who was found to have bilateral carotid stenosis. After finding bilateral carotid stenosis, it ultimately led to the diagnosis of "TIA Shakes." Overall, this case re-emphasizes the importance of diagnosis and correctly managing our patients.
