Acute Cerebral Infarction Secondary to Spontaneous Isolated Middle Cerebral Artery Dissection: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Spontaneous isolated middle cerebral artery dissection (MCAD) is uncommon. We report a rare case of acute M1 occlusion resulting from spontaneous isolated MCAD. A 64-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with an abrupt onset of headache, left hemiparesis, and sensory disturbances. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cerebral infarction in the right hemisphere, and magnetic resonance angiography confirmed right M1 occlusion. The patient underwent mechanical thrombectomy and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, achieving incomplete recanalization with residual stenosis. Retrospective analysis of angiography after the initial pass revealed findings suggestive of MCAD, indicating spontaneous isolated dissection. Reports of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with complete occlusion due to spontaneous isolated MCAD are limited, and the optimal treatment strategy remains unclear. Although diagnosing this rare condition is challenging, the presence of headache at onset may indicate MCAD. This case highlights the importance of considering spontaneous isolated MCAD as a possible cause of acute M1 occlusion and underscores the need for careful assessment of clinical history and imaging findings.
