A Pediatric Case of Middle Cerebral Artery Dissection With Delayed Morphological Changes.
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
Middle cerebral artery dissection (MCAD) is a rare condition with no consensus on its treatment strategy and prognosis. This report describes a case of MCAD with perforating artery infarction in which radiographic findings progressed despite a lack of symptoms following maintenance infusion without antithrombotic therapy. A five-year-old boy presented to our hospital with right hemiplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffusion restriction in the left basal ganglia. Additionally, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed irregular walls in the horizontal portion of the left middle cerebral artery. MRA performed three months after admission revealed progressive stenosis but no new ischemic lesions. MCAD can be associated with long-term morphological changes in the vessel walls. Intracranial artery dissection (IAD) in pediatric patients often presents without headache or neck pain, and serial imaging helps monitor disease progression. In conclusion, the morphology of the vessels can change over several months. Especially in pediatric patients, IAD often presents without headache or neck pain, and serial imaging evaluations help monitor disease progression.
