Supplementary file 1_Anatomical characteristics of the styloid process associated with int

A systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the association between styloid process anatomical characteristics and internal carotid artery dissection. The analysis includes data from five case-control studies, covering 270 ICA-D patients and 377 controls. The dataset was authored by Tomas Klail and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing the risk factor of styloid process proximity to the carotid artery based on the primary outcome measure.
• Investigating the relationship between styloid process length and carotid artery dissection based on secondary outcomes.
• Evaluating the role of styloid process angulation in vascular pathology based on findings from two studies.

Strengths

• Includes pooled analysis from five case-control studies.
• Reports specific statistical results, including standardized mean differences (SMD) and heterogeneity indices (I²).
• Has a clear systematic review registration number (CRD42024582594).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 29.1 KB DOCX file, which is a small document rather than a structured data table.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The description notes the available evidence is limited and heterogeneous.
