External Carotid Artery Entrapment by the Hyoid Bone Associated with an Atherosclerotic Stenosis of the Internal Carotid Artery.
Article in Diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The mechanical compression of an external carotid artery (ECA) is a rare pathology. The compression of the carotid bifurcation can be positional, induced by anatomical elements, or provoked by volumetric formation in the neck area. In this study, we describe a rare case of an entrapment of the ECA. A 67-year-old man who had two episodes of transient ischemic attack (TIA) demonstrated by loss of consciousness was transferred to our hospital. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed the atherosclerotic stenosis (80%) of a right internal carotid artery (ICA) and, at the same time, entrapment of the right ECA by the elongated right greater horn of the hyoid bone (GHHB). A 1 cm section of the GHHB was resected. After clamping of the carotid arteries, longitudinal arteriotomy and endarterectomy surgeries were performed from the right ICA. At the two months follow-up examination, the patient's condition was reported as normal, with no episodes of TIA, dysphagia, or pharyngeal discomfort.
