Slow-Flow Venous Vascular Malformation in the Carotid Sheath.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Slow-flow venous vascular malformation is a benign lesion characterized by an abnormal but non-cancerous growth of capillaries. In the carotid space, a slow-flow venous vascular malformation is an exceptionally uncommon occurrence. Here, we present the case of a 58-year-old man who had been experiencing a slow-growing lump on the left side of his neck for the past four years. Upon conducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck soft tissues and computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the neck, imaging findings revealed a venous vascular malformation within the carotid sheath. Venous vascular malformation in the carotid space is rarely reported in the medical literature. The unique imaging findings for venous vascular malformation make our case distinct, which deviates from the more common entities usually encountered in this area, such as schwannoma or carotid body tumor. The atypical presentation of this case has brought about greater awareness among the medical community and readers alike.
