When the Eagle Strikes Twice: A Case Report of Recurrent Stroke Secondary to Bilateral Stylocarotid Artery Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Eagle syndrome (ES), particularly its vascular variant known as stylocarotid artery syndrome (SAS), is characterized by an elongated styloid process (ESP) that impinges on the internal carotid artery (ICA), leading to vascular complications. We report a case of a 57-year-old man who presented with acute left-sided weakness. Imaging revealed right ICA dissection (ICAD), which was medically managed. Six years later, the patient presented with acute right-sided weakness, and imaging revealed a new left ICAD. Further review of the imaging findings identified bilateral ESP as the underlying cause of both dissections. The patient underwent a left-sided styloidectomy and had an uneventful recovery. This case report describes a patient with vascular ES who experienced bilateral ICADs separated by several years. This underscores the importance of recognizing vascular ES as a potential and treatable cause of stroke.
