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

Blunt vertebral artery injuries (BVAI) associated with cervical spine fractures are often problematic due to symptoms of occlusion. Denver grade V cases, in which the vertebral artery is transected, are rare but often fatal, and treatment has rarely been reported. We encountered a case of hemorrhagic shock due to an injury to a branch of the vertebral artery associated with an upper cervical spine fracture. Transcatheter arterial embolization was performed successfully to achieve hemostasis, requiring superselective arterial embolization to preserve the main trunk of the vertebral artery. It is important to be aware that vascular injuries to the branch vessels as well as the main trunk can cause complications.
