Cerebellar Infarction Diagnosed by the 'Hyperdense Sign' on Plain CT.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We hereby present a case of thrombus or possible vertebral artery dissection (VAD), but no confirmatory evidence in a young adult male, diagnosed using an unusual but pivotal imaging clue, the "dense vertebral artery sign" observed on non-contrast computed tomography (CT). This finding led to the initial suspicion and subsequent confirmation of VAD. This report underscores the diagnostic value of subtle vascular signs on plain CT imaging that are frequently overlooked but can result in prompt and life-saving intervention. This report is of particular significance in emergency settings, where advanced imaging modalities such as MRI and CT angiography may not be readily available.
