A Case of Horner's Syndrome Aiding the Diagnosis of Internal Carotid Artery Dissection (ICAD): A Life-Saving Twist of Fate.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 59-year-old male patient came to the outpatient department with complaints of left-sided hemicranial headache with drooping of the left upper eyelid (UL) for three days associated with difficulty in swallowing and deviation of the tongue. The patient had a history of vigorous coughing for the past 15 days for which he did not take any medications. He was thoroughly evaluated in the outpatient department and diagnosed with Horner's syndrome. Acute Horner's syndrome with pain is nearly a hallmark of carotid dissection, and MRI of the brain and orbit was thus advised. On MRI, a hyperdense area was noted around the left internal carotid artery for which he was advised magnetic resonance angiography, which revealed internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) of the left side. The patient was diagnosed with left-sided Horner's syndrome following left ICAD with involvement of the left hypoglossal nerve. He was started on antiplatelets and anticoagulants and closely followed up. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment were lifesaving for this patient.
