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

Carotid webs are rare vascular anomalies increasingly recognized as significant contributors to ischemic strokes in young, otherwise healthy adults, particularly females. These subtle vascular malformations are often underdiagnosed due to their inconspicuous appearance on standard imaging. This case series presents three young female patients, aged 30 to 39, who presented with acute ischemic strokes attributed to carotid webs. Through comprehensive stroke evaluation, including advanced imaging techniques and timely interventions, the presence of carotid webs was confirmed. Each case underwent surgical intervention with favorable outcomes. This series aims to raise awareness about the clinical significance of carotid webs in young women presenting with cryptogenic strokes.
