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

Congenital internal carotid artery hypoplasia (CICAH) is a rare vascular anomaly, often asymptomatic due to collateral compensation, which may pose diagnostic challenges, particularly in young adults. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman who presented with headache and diplopia, in whom neuroimaging demonstrated congenital hypoplasia of the right internal carotid artery associated with chronic ischemic changes. This case highlights the uncommon symptomatic presentation of congenital internal carotid artery hypoplasia and underscores the crucial diagnostic role of radiologic imaging in identifying and differentiating it from acquired vascular disease.
