Occipital artery biopsy: Surgical technique.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Giant cell arteritis is a systemic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects medium- and large-size arteries. Usually, the temporal artery is involved. In rare cases, the patient experiences symptoms elsewhere, such as in the occipital region. In such cases, biopsy of the occipital artery can be considered. Few studies are available on how to perform such a biopsy. In this case report, we describe the procedure in detail, with a focus on the important anatomic structures. We wish to offer other surgeons a quick reference in the case of a request for a biopsy of the occipital artery.
