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

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is often used to assess the vascular status in moyamoya disease. The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of cortical arteries (M4) of moyamoya disease on CTA; the clinical significance of which is also discussed. A total of 38 hemispheric sides of 27 patients with moyamoya disease were included in this study. The number of M4 was visualized on CTA using cortical surface imaging and compared between the moyamoya disease group and the non-moyamoya disease group or the control group. Then, the clinical and radiological factors associated with the number of M4, the distribution of M4, and collateral circulation were examined. The number of M4 was lower in the moyamoya disease group than in the non-moyamoya disease group and in the control group (p < 0.05). There are few predictive clinical factors of the number of M4 except male sex. The prefrontal artery, precentral artery, central artery, and angular artery had a significantly higher prevalence in moyamoya disease (p < 0.05). The durocortical and periventricular anastomosis had a significantly higher prevalence in moyamoya disease (p < 0.05). The prevalence and distribution pattern of cortical arteries in moyamoya disease differed from that of the non-moyamoya disease group, and the distribution patterns of M4 might be influenced by collateral circulation. It is thus essential to recognize M4 to assess the recipient artery so as to ensure superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass.
