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

Retropharyngeal carotid artery occlusive disease presents a formidable challenge for surgeons due to its anatomic location and increased potential for complications. Conventional treatments, including open revascularization and transfemoral stenting, often face limitations. Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has offered a promising alternative, integrating a hybrid surgical and endovascular approach. We present a case of an elderly patient with severe symptomatic stenosis of a retropharyngeal carotid artery treated with TCAR. We review the potential injuries reported with the use of transfemoral stenting and endarterectomy in this setting and suggest that TCAR may be a safer modality for its treatment.
