An Unusual Presentation of Superficial Temporal Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Penetrating Head Injury.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2026. 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
Superficial temporal artery (STA) pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular lesion that usually arises after blunt or penetrating trauma to the temporal region. Because the STA is only superficially covered by skin and subcutaneous tissue, it is highly susceptible to injury. We report the case of a 21-year-old male who presented with a painless, pulsatile swelling over the left temporal area three weeks after sustaining a knife injury. Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated a 4×1.2 cm pseudoaneurysm with a characteristic "to-and-fro" flow pattern, and contrast-enhanced CT angiography confirmed an oval pseudoaneurysm originating from the left STA. Following surgical ligation and excision of the pseudoaneurysm, the patient recovered without incident. Any patient who presents with a pulsatile mass after facial or scalp trauma should be suspected of having a STA pseudoaneurysm. To ensure positive results, early diagnosis using Doppler or CT angiography and timely surgical management are crucial in preventing rupture, hemorrhage, and cosmetic deformity.
