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

backgroundIntracranial aneurysms are the most common vascular cause of painful ophthalmoplegia. Symptoms include retro-orbital pain, diplopia, ophthalmoplegia, trigeminal neuropathy, or a combination of these. Most single aneurysms cause ipsilateral, painful ophthalmoplegia. Here, we report the first, to our knowledge, case of bilateral painful ophthalmoplegia possibly caused by an aneurysm of the cavernous segment of the left internal carotid artery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 62-year-old male patient presented with headache and bilateral ptosis. Laboratory tests revealed hypopituitary function. Computerized tomography angiography showed a large aneurysm in the cavernous sinus segment of the left internal carotid artery. Aneurysm embolization was performed in the Nerve Interventional Department. Four months after surgery, the patient's symptoms returned to normal.

conclusionsThis case suggests that patients with bilateral painful ophthalmoplegia should be screened for aneurysms using computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography immediately.
