Role of Point-of-Care Cerebral Ultrasonography in Determining the Etiology of Post-carotid Endarterectomy Deficit: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 revascularization surgery is notorious for its neurological morbimortality. We report the case of a 74-year-old hypertensive patient, who underwent left internal carotid artery endarterectomy for a 90% stenosis under general anesthesia, presenting in the immediate postoperative period with right hemiplegia without consciousness disorders. Evaluation by cerebral ultrasound at bedside led to suspicion of intracerebral hemorrhage, which was confirmed by cerebral CT scan. The patient was treated by neuroresuscitation measures in the absence of the possibility of surgical intervention. This hemorrhage may be explained by a reperfusion injury due to the loss of cerebral autoregulation of these vessels, the loss of controlling blood pressure, and the use of heparin in vascular surgery. This is a rare but fatal complication with a high mortality rate.
