Sex differences in the epidemiology of spontaneous and traumatic cervical artery dissections.
Article in Stroke and vascular neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundRecent studies show cervical artery dissection (CeAD) is equally common between sexes, and that the incidence of CeAD has risen at a greater rate in females than males. In this population-based study, we identify sex differences in patients diagnosed with spontaneous and traumatic CeAD.
methods144 patients with spontaneous or traumatic CeAD were studied for sex differences in medical comorbidities, presenting symptoms and outcomes.
resultsFemales were more likely to carry a diagnosis of migraine, while males were more likely to have hyperlipidaemia. Females were more likely to present with neck pain, males with stroke. Females were significantly more likely to develop recurrent dissections in the study period.
conclusionsThese findings underscore the importance of understanding CeAD through the lens of sex differences and may explain the significant rise in the diagnosis of CeAD in females. These findings support the importance of considering sex-specific risk factors and medical comorbidities with sex predilection in the diagnosis and management of CeAD. Furthermore, it emphasises the importance of female patients understanding risk factors and presenting signs that should prompt evaluation for CeAD.
