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

Background: The formation of dissecting pseudoaneurysms (dPSAs) is a common sequela of cervical artery dissection, which has been suggested to increase thrombotic risk in previous studies. This study reported clinical features and long-term outcomes of cervical internal carotid (cICA) and vertebral artery (cVA) dPSAs. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review over a 10-year period (January 2012-December 2021). Baseline demographics and clinical characteristics, medical and endovascular treatments, and long-term outcomes were reported for cICA and cVA dPSA groups separately. Nonparametric tests were used to compare group differences. Results: In our cohort, 120 (12%) of 999 cervical artery dissection patients had dPSA, with 85% occurring in the cICA and 15% in the cVA. Most dPSAs occurred spontaneously or in association with minor trauma. Compared with cICA dPSA, patients with cVA dPSA were younger (median age [range]=34.5 [24-70] versus 52 [30-77]; Conclusion: Most cICA and cVA dPSAs have a benign prognosis with medical therapy alone. Further prospective randomized clinical trials are needed to provide high quality evidence on the necessity of additional endovascular therapy at diagnosis in addition to medical therapy alone.
