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

The artery of Percheron (AOP) is a congenital anatomical irregularity of the cerebrovasculature responsible for perfusing the thalamus and midbrain. These defects account for a small percent of all ischemic strokes and present with widely variable symptomatology, ranging from confusion to coma. We present a case of an acute AOP infarct and recovery in a 68-year-old male with atrial fibrillation without anticoagulation. It is our hope that this case report serves to alert diagnosticians to the presence of AOP infarcts, the wide clinical presentation, and the prognosis of this rare and critical type of ischemic stroke.
