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

A 46-year-old man with right-sided posterior neck pain, dizziness, and vomiting was admitted to our hospital. Initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right cerebellar infarction; however, it was inconclusive for the diagnosis of dissection. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) and curved planar reconstruction images revealed wall deformity and beaded stenosis in the lateral medullary segment of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), leading to a diagnosis of isolated PICA dissection. CTA findings preceded the appearance of an intramural hematoma on MRI. CTA may offer a better morphological evaluation than MRI, especially for small vessels in the early phase.
