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

A man in his early 80s presented with acute onset aphasia and right-sided weakness with an NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 17. He was last seen normal 9 hours before the presentation. MRI of the brain showed acute infarcts in the left caudate, lentiform nucleus and corona radiata. MRI angiogram (MRA) revealed an occluded left main middle cerebral artery (MCA) and an associated ipsilateral patent duplicated middle cerebral artery (DMCA). Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) was performed, and he was discharged with an NIHSS of 8. In this report, we review and discuss the challenges during the intervention of MCA occlusion in the presence of duplicated MCA, a rare anomaly.
