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

We report a case of a 52-year-old female who first developed an acute lacunar infarction in the left thalamus. Two and a half years later, the patient presented with a new infarction due to high-grade stenosis of the mid basilar artery, which required treatment with tenecteplase (TNK) and angioplasty with stenting. Approximately one month following this, the patient developed a new pontine infarction despite a patent basilar artery stent. This prompted a hypercoagulable workup, which revealed an elevated factor VIII level.
