Cough-Induced Bilateral Internal Carotid Artery Dissection Complicated With Large Vessel Occlusion and Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery Syndrome.
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
Cervical artery dissection (carotid artery and vertebral artery) is one of the important causes of cerebrovascular accidents, particularly in younger patients without traditional vascular risk factors. Coughing caused by respiratory tract infections can, in rare cases, lead to a vessel wall tear, potentially resulting in embolism. We present a 55-year-old man who came to the hospital with transient episodes of left arm weakness, dysarthria, and facial numbness, which progressed to left hemiparesis in three hours. A non-enhanced brain CT scan and cerebral angiography showed thrombus in M1 segment of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) with extensive occlusion of the right internal carotid artery (ICA) with marked dissection of the cervical portion of the left ICA. He was initially treated with intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase, according to the hospital's protocol. His symptoms improved temporarily but he later developed a thrombus in the same vessel complicated by malignant MCA. We discuss the identification of carotid artery dissection, escalation, and management of the patient.
