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

Horner syndrome, characterized by the triad of unilateral ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis, typically arises following a stroke, surgical interventions in the neck and chest, or trauma. Horner syndrome is rare in children. This study presents the case of a 9-year-old girl with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) caused by renal hypodysplasia. After permcath insertion, she developed a severe headache and anisocoria, followed by ptosis and a progressively expanding neck hematoma. Physical examination and MRI of the neck revealed that Horner syndrome, caused by hematoma formation following permcath placement, was the diagnosis. Supportive interventions were implemented, leading to significant improvement in Horner syndrome over a six-month period. Complications from permcath insertion can be a cause of Horner syndrome.
