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

A 31-year-old female presented to our hospital with sudden headache and altered consciousness. Computed tomography showed left acute subdural hematoma, and digital subtraction angiography revealed a small aneurysm on the left distal posterior cerebral artery. Coil embolization was conducted, and the patient was discharged with no neurological deficits. However, two weeks later, she presented with complete left hemiplegia and with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale of 20. Magnetic resonance angiography showed the occlusion of right middle cerebral artery, and the Diffusion-Weighted Imaging-Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score was four. Mechanical thrombectomy was conducted. Complete recanalization was achieved, and the patient recovered favorably. Although she showed no symptoms of infection such as fever throughout the treatment of aneurysm and thrombectomy, her blood culture was positive for
