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

objectivesTo investigate in-vivo microanatomy of the subcallosal artery branching from the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) using time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 7 Tesla.

methodsSeventy-five subjects, including 15 healthy volunteers and 60 patients, were included in this prospective study. Three raters characterized branches from ACoA in maximum intensity projections of TOF MRA at 7 Tesla acquired with 0.22 × 0.22 × 0.41 mm(3) resolution. Furthermore, course patterns and anatomical features of the subcallosal artery (maximum diameter, length, and branching angle from ACoA) were measured.

resultsBranches from the anterior communicating artery were visualized in 63 of 74 (85.1 %) subjects and were identified as the subcallosal artery (93.7 %) and the accessory anterior cerebral artery (6.3 %). The course of the subcallosal artery was classified into 3 groups; C-shaped (55.9 %), straight (16.9 %), and S-shaped (27.2 %). There was a significant difference between the branching angles of C-shaped and straight (p < 0.0001), between C-shaped and S-shaped (p < 0.0001), as well as between straight and S-shaped (p = 0.0113) course patterns.

conclusionsHigh-resolution in-vivo 7 T TOF MRA can delineate the microanatomy of the subcallosal artery. Three main variants of course patterns and branching angles from ACoA could be identified. KEY POINTS: • In-vivo 7 Tesla TOF MRA can delineate the subcallosal artery microanatomy • Three distinct course patterns of the subcallosal artery were identified • Branching angles from ACoA significantly differed between subcallosal artery course patterns.
