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

purposeWe present a case of dysphagia caused by an aberrant internal carotid artery (ICA). By reporting this rare occurrence, we hope to highlight the anomaly as a differential in cases of persistent, progressive dysphagia.

resultsEven though the symptomatic mass effect of the ICA warranted the option of surgical intervention, due to a patient-centered approach with an emphasis on personal preference, the patient was instead referred for specialized ergotherapy.

conclusionThis case characterizes a rare yet significant cause of dysphagia, in addition, it illustrates the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach when dealing with complex cases of dysphagia.
