Vascular Eagle Syndrome in Elderly Patients Diagnosed by Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Angiography: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in NMC case report journal, 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
Dynamic assessment by computed tomography angiography or digital subtraction angiography is important for the diagnosis of vascular eagle syndrome, although these require the use of contrast media. Magnetic resonance angiography with neck flexion and extension, named dynamic magnetic resonance angiography, can dynamically evaluate the relationship between the internal carotid artery and the styloid process with no use of contrast media. A 74-year-old male with chronic kidney disease was rushed to our hospital due to recurrent infarction in the left cerebral hemisphere. Magnetic resonance angiography in the neutral neck position showed no abnormality in the left internal carotid artery, but computed tomography revealed bilateral elongated styloid process. Dynamic magnetic resonance angiography was performed to show that the left internal carotid artery was compressed by the styloid process during neck flexion but not during neck extension. Carotid ultrasound revealed a thrombus in the high cervical portion of the left internal carotid artery. Styloidectomy was performed, and cerebral infarction has not recurred since then. Dynamic magnetic resonance angiography may be a useful diagnostic modality without using contrast media for vascular eagle syndrome.
