White Embolus-induced Basilar Artery Occlusion Due to Pulmonary Vein Invasion of a Metastasis of a Malignant Melanoma.

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
An 80-year-old woman presented with impaired consciousness after malignant melanoma resection. Magnetic resonance angiography showed basilar artery occlusion, which was subjected to mechanical thrombectomy for recanalization. A pathological analysis of the retrieved embolus revealed that it was derived from a metastasis of malignant melanoma. Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography showed multiple pulmonary metastases, one of which was in the right upper lobe and invaded the pulmonary vein. To our knowledge, this is the first case of white embolus-induced cerebral embolism due to pulmonary vein invasion of a metastasis of a pathologically diagnosed malignant melanoma.
