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 report a rare case of isolated internal carotid artery occlusion complicated by central retinal artery occlusion that was successfully treated with mechanical thrombectomy for internal carotid artery occlusion. A 59-year-old man visited the emergency room because of right monocular blindness. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple acute small embolic infarctions in the right frontal lobe, and magnetic resonance angiography revealed right internal carotid artery occlusion without the associated occlusion of the circle of Willis, which indicates the patency of the anterior and middle cerebral arteries. An electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation. Therefore, we performed mechanical thrombectomy with a stent retriever under continuous manual aspiration with a balloon-guiding catheter and confirmed complete recanalization, anterograde flow in the right ophthalmic artery, and retinal brush. The procedure was completed without complications, and the patient noticed an improvement in visual acuity immediately after the procedure. When a patient with atrial fibrillation complains of monocular blindness, it is important to consider internal carotid artery occlusion due to cardioembolism, to perform an examination promptly, and to consider early treatment, including mechanical thrombectomy.
