Lessons of the month: Giant cell arteritis with Horner's syndrome and vertebral dissection.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We present a case of an 82-year-old woman presenting with left-sided Horner's syndrome and stroke. She also had a 6-week history of intermittent dizziness, reduced appetite, lethargy, muscle stiffness and weight loss. Examination revealed left temporal artery and left posterior auricular artery tenderness. Her ESR showed 62 mm/hr and imaging showed left vertebral artery dissection. Temporal artery biopsy was positive.The case highlights a rare presentation of giant cell arteritis with Horner's syndrome and left vertebral artery dissection. High clinical suspicion is required to prevent delay in diagnosis and treatment.
