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 29-year-old woman with no medical history visited our hospital with a sudden onset of headache. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography of the head and neck demonstrated an occlusion and intramural hematoma in the right vertebral artery. We diagnosed vertebral artery dissection and provided treatment to reduce her headache and control her blood pressure. The patient's symptoms and imaging findings gradually improved. Blood biochemistry was positive for anticardiolipin antibodies. Anticardiolipin antibodies are often associated with thromboembolism but rarely associated with the development of arterial dissection in the cerebral artery. We present a case of vertebral arterial dissection and anticardiolipin antibody positivity along with a discussion of the related literature.
