Histopathological Examination of a Symptomatic Carotid Web: A Case Report.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 webs cause ischemic stroke in young people and are associated with a high rate of stroke recurrence. Histopathological examination is crucial for clarifying the pathogenesis and mechanisms underlying the occurrence of carotid webs, although the mechanisms generally remain unclear. Here, we report a case of a symptomatic carotid web in a woman in her 50s who had a medical history of two ischemic strokes. She was diagnosed with a right carotid web and underwent carotid endarterectomy 18 days after the second stroke. Histopathological examination clearly revealed several phases of intimal hyperplasia. Furthermore, a thrombus attached to the carotid web showed invasion by fibroblasts and capillaries, and organization had begun. We presume that after the appearance of the carotid web, the thrombus formed by stagnant flow and became organized, causing the carotid web to grow and change in shape.
