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

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an infrequent progressive cerebral pathology that primarily affects the branches of the internal carotid artery, resulting in stenosis of the internal carotid artery and subsequent development of multiple collateral vessels. As the disease advances, it manifests through various clinical presentations, including stroke and seizures. Prevalence rates indicate a higher incidence among individuals of Eastern Asian descent, while it is notably less common among African Americans. This case report describes the clinical presentation of a 32-year-old African-American female with a past medical history of sickle cell disease and stroke, who sought medical attention at our institution due to a deterioration in left-sided weakness and left wrist drop. Although the patient had been diagnosed with MMD at an early age, no previous medical records were available. Diagnostic evaluation utilizing brain imaging techniques confirmed the presence of MMD, exhibiting minute collaterals that had replaced the middle cerebral artery.
