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 52-year-old woman with a known history of hypertension presented to the emergency department with acute confusion. She also had a prior history of transient ischemic attack. Computed tomography (CT) of the brain demonstrated an acute infarction involving the left insular cortex. CT angiography revealed no evidence of large-vessel occlusion; however, both cervical segments of the internal carotid arteries exhibited a tortuous course with a characteristic "string-of-beads" appearance, raising the possibility of incidental fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). This finding was not considered the primary etiology of the acute infarction. The diagnosis of bilateral internal carotid artery fibromuscular dysplasia was subsequently confirmed by catheter angiography.
