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

Aneurysm of the external jugular vein is rare, and a traumatic case with a documented mechanism and pathological findings is exceptional. A woman in her 50s sustained a blunt injury to the left anterior neck from a kendo thrust (tsuki). One month later she developed a left cervical swelling. Ultrasound study and computed tomography showed a 2-cm saccular dilatation with a cranial filling defect, indicating partial thrombosis. After 4 months of observation, the aneurysm was resected at the patient's request. Histopathology showed segmental loss of elastic fibers and adventitial rupture without organized thrombus. Recognizing venous injury after a kendo thrust enables timely diagnosis.
