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

introductionTics in children are commonly diagnosed and not usually a cause for concern. Rarely, they may present as a symptom of underlying intracranial pathology. CASE REPORT: We describe an adolescent with sudden-onset tics following a fall who presented to the emergency department and was diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation with parenchymal hemorrhage. He underwent a successful embolization, after which his tics resolved.

conclusionWhen evaluating a patient with tics, an atypical history or abnormal physical exam findings should raise suspicion for possible secondary etiologies, including arteriovenous malformation and stroke.
