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
Common carotid artery (CCA) occlusion is a rare condition that can result in diverse neurological symptoms due to insufficient cerebral blood flow. We present a case of CCA occlusion treated with high-flow vertebral artery (VA) to middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass using a radial artery (RA) graft. A 68-year-old man experienced recurrent ischemic events in the months preceding surgery. Preoperative diffusion-weighted imaging showed left anterior border zone infarction, and single-photon emission computed tomography revealed severe hemispheric hypoperfusion. Digital subtraction angiography confirmed complete occlusion of the left CCA with inadequate external carotid artery supply. A VA (V3 segment)-RA-MCA (M2 segment) bypass was performed, resulting in an uneventful postoperative course. Follow-up angiography demonstrated durable patency of the radial artery graft. No recurrent ischemic events were observed during the 2-year follow-up period. This technical note demonstrates key surgical considerations for VA-RA-MCA high-flow bypass as a salvage technique in a patient with symptomatic CCA occlusion.
