Uncommon Bilateral Carotid Artery Dissection in a Farmer: The Perils of Heavy Weight Lifting.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection on heavy weight lifting is a very rare cause of stroke in young patients. Arterial dissection is due to a tear in the intima and internal elastic lamina which leads to extravasation of blood into the media and subintimal plane. Clinical diagnosis of carotid artery dissection is difficult with common clinical presentations like headache and neck pain. Here we present a case of a 40-year-old young man who presented to us (tertiary referral center) with headache and quadriparesis. MRI brain showed multiple acute infarcts in bilateral centrum semiovale extending up to frontal periventricular white matter with few tiny foci in bilateral medial temporal and left gangliocapsular regions and CT cerebral angiography showed bilateral ICA dissection. He was treated with low molecular weight heparin and was discharged for follow-up with regular physiotherapy.
