Massive cerebellar infarction caused by spontaneously isolated posterior inferior cerebellar artery dissection: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDiagnosing posterior inferior cerebellar artery dissection (PICAD) using radiological images is challenging. Massive cerebellar infarctions resulting from spontaneous, isolated PICAD are rare, and the associated clinical, imaging, and treatment options remain unclear. CASE SUMMARY: A 39-year-old man was admitted for dizziness and unstable gait for two days. Physical examination revealed decreased right-limb muscle strength and right-sided ataxia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a massive acute right cerebellar infarction, but other modalities, including head and neck computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), showed no obvious abnormalities. High-resolution vessel wall MRI (HR-VW-MRI) revealed right PICAD. The patient was diagnosed with massive cerebellar infarction caused by PICAD and active conservative treatment was initiated. The initial PICAD lesion disappeared 1.5 months after discharge, after which the patient experienced only slight weakness in his right limb for three months.
conclusionSince MRA and CTA may fail to identify PICAD, HR-VW-MRI is key in diagnosis and follow-up evaluation. Aggressive medication may be effective and safe for treating PICAD.
