Contralateral Massive Neonatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke Secondary to Carotid Artery Dissection: A Case Report.

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
Carotid artery dissection is an infrequent cause of neonatal-perinatal stroke. Its rarity may be due to underdiagnosis or lack of awareness. We report a case of a full-term, large-for-gestational-age (LGA) male infant delivered at 39 weeks gestation. Pertinent prenatal and perinatal history include gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and the use of forceps to assist in delivery due to shoulder dystocia. The infant presented with apnea and cyanosis while rooming which prompted admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Initial sonographic investigation revealed an infarct, subsequently confirmed as a massive left-sided infarct by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Further, computerized tomography (CT) angiography confirmed a dissection in the right common and internal carotid arteries. The child was treated with antiepileptic and antithrombotic medications. He is now undergoing regular neurodevelopmental monitoring and rehabilitation. As per our sources, this case is the first to report a contralateral significant perinatal stroke due to carotid artery dissection. It underscores the importance of recognizing subtle signs of neonatal encephalopathy that may be due to perinatal stroke, of which carotid artery dissection is an uncommon etiology. Assisted delivery techniques such as the use of forceps may be risk factors.
