Carotid Web as a Rare Cause of Stroke: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A carotid web is a rare, focal vascular malformation at the posterior wall of the carotid bulb, which can be associated with acute ischemic stroke, especially in young patients. Also, a carotid web is associated with a high risk of stroke recurrence, despite optimal antithrombotic therapy. Our patient is a 41-year-old, previously healthy female, with a symptomatic carotid web on the right carotid artery, which led to acute embolic ischemic lesions in the right insular and frontal juxtacortical regions. She had recurrent episodes of mild left-sided hemiparesis and dysarthria, with complete spontaneous recovery. Extensive diagnostic procedures did not confirm any other cause of stroke except a symptomatic carotid web. She underwent stent placement, with no new vascular events, a normal neurological examination, and maintaining stent patency 1 year after the stroke onset. A carotid web is an important cause of stroke in young patients, potentially preventable by endovascular stent placement, alongside the best medical treatment.
