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

A 75-year-old man with recurrent hemispheric stroke was found to have severe tandem cervical and intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) stenoses and a hostile aortic arch. Transcarotid artery revascularization with flow reversal enabled safe carotid access for angioplasty and stenting of the cervical and intracranial ICA through the same access. Imaging confirmed excellent luminal restoration without complications, and follow-up ultrasound study showed <50% residual stenosis of the cervical ICA along with no new neurologic symptoms. This case demonstrates that transcarotid artery revascularization can facilitate single-session multilevel carotid revascularization in high-risk patients, offering a safe strategy when transfemoral access is unfavorable.
