Improvements in Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis by Sinusitis Following Treatment of Sphenoid Sinusitis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 patient was a 36-year-old woman in the 34th week of pregnancy who presented with headache. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis and inflammatory changes in the sphenoid sinus. No cerebral infarction was detected on diffusion-weighted magnetic MRI. She was diagnosed with ICA stenosis induced by sphenoid sinusitis and underwent surgical treatment with intravenous antibiotics and corticosteroids. Her headache improved, and MRI showed remarkable improvement in bilateral ICA stenosis and no cerebral infarction. Severe sinusitis can also cause ICA stenoses. An early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of causative sinusitis can improve ICA stenosis and prevent stroke.
