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

This is a novel case of spontaneous subclavian artery dissection presenting with an asymptomatic right Horner Syndrome, highlighting both the importance of carefully evaluating the pupils on comprehensive exam, and also the subclavian arteries when assessing for the cause of Horner Syndrome. This original case serves as a caution for practitioners not to overlook the subclavian arteries in the search for the cause of Horner Syndrome. While rare, spontaneous subclavian artery dissection can occur, and carries a risk of morbidity and mortality that must be mitigated. We present a case of asymptomatic, atraumatic right Horner Syndrome where a spontaneous right subclavian artery dissection was found to be the source. It was managed with aspirin therapy and the patient has not suffered any subsequent cardiovascular events related to the dissection. Careful angiographic evaluation of the subclavian arteries should be included in the workup for Horner Syndrome to assess for subclavian artery dissection.
