Superficial Temporal Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Head Trauma from a Lacrosse Ball: A Case Report.

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
Introduction: Superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular complication of blunt head trauma and may be overlooked due to delayed presentation and minimal initial findings. Case Report: A helmeted adolescent lacrosse player sustained blunt trauma to the right superolateral forehead after being struck by a lacrosse ball. He subsequently developed a progressively enlarging, pulsatile scalp mass. Point-of-care ultrasound demonstrated Doppler flow within the lesion, and further evaluation with ultrasound and computed tomography confirmed a pseudoaneurysm arising from the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery. The patient underwent surgical excision and ligation of the affected vessel without complications. Conclusion: Early recognition and appropriate imaging are essential for the diagnosis of superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm and allow timely surgical management with excellent clinical outcomes.
