Dynamic imaging evaluation of the positional relationship between the elongated styloid process and the carotid artery stent using cone-beam CT: illustrative case.

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
backgroundEagle syndrome is a condition in which mechanical stimulation of an elongated styloid process causes internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection. OBSERVATIONS: The patient presented with partial right hemiparesis and dysarthria and was diagnosed with left ICA occlusion due to dissection with horizontal segmental patency of the middle cerebral artery, for which carotid artery stenting was performed. The tip of the styloid process was at the same level as the entry of the dissected segment, suggesting mechanical stimulation of the styloid process as the cause of dissection. Dynamic evaluation of the positional relationship between the tip of the styloid process and the carotid artery stent during head rotation was performed with cone-beam CT. The distance between the tip of the styloid process and the carotid artery stent was shortest in the neutral position and increased with head rotation. Repeated head rotation while swinging a golf club was thought to be the cause of the ICA dissection in this patient. LESSONS: The greater the range of motion of the styloid process during head rotation, the greater the likelihood of mechanical stimulation of an elongated styloid process to the ICA. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25260.
