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 present a rare case of a 68-year-old woman who experienced dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and imbalance for 2 months. Imaging studies, including magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance angiography, and digital subtraction angiography, revealed an intrasellar course of the persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) with atherosclerotic changes. Additionally, hypoplasia of the basilar artery and left vertebral artery was observed. The anatomically rare intrasellar PTA, combined with atherosclerosis and vertebrobasilar hypoplasia, likely contributed to compromised posterior circulation and the patient's symptoms. This case highlights the importance of considering vascular anomalies and the associated pathological changes in patients with otherwise unexplained posterior circulation symptoms.
