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

Cervical artery dissection is an uncommon condition for which pregnancy and postpartum states confer increased risk. Although the majority of patients with this condition fully recover, including resolution of the dissection on imaging, long-term sequelae include a variety of cardiovascular conditions that may be associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Here, we review 2 cases of vertebral artery dissection in relation to pregnancy. Our first case will review the management of a pregnant patient with a history of vertebral artery dissection; whereas our second case reviews a presentation of postpartum vertebral artery dissection. Providers should maintain a high suspicion of cervical artery dissection in pregnant and postpartum patients presenting with headache and neck pain.
