Corona mortis anastomosis: a three-dimensional computerized tomographic angiographic study.
Article in Emergency radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeWe evaluated the corona mortis (CM) anatomy by means of three-dimensional computerized tomography angiographic (CTA).
methodsPatient demographic, anastomosis incidence, artery diameter, artery distance from the symphysis pubis, and pelvic size (distance between both acetabular upper labrum) parameters were assessed. The 100 patients included 66 males and 34 females (average age of 67.8 years).
resultsThere were 66 (33%) arterial anastomoses in the 200 evaluated arteries, 30 in the right side and 36 in the left side, 36 unilaterally and 15 bilaterally. No anastomoses were detected in 49 patients. The average diameter was 2.4 mm for the right-sided arteries and 2.24 in the left-sided ones. The distance was 55.2 mm from the right symphysis and 57.2 from the left symphysis (greater for females, 62.2 versus 55.85 mm [p = 0.037] only on the left side). The artery disappears in smaller-sized pelvises. There was a non-occluded arterial pattern in 47 (71%) and a partially occluded one in 19 (29%, all with peripheral vascular disease).
conclusionOne-third of the evaluated CTAs revealed competent CMs. CMs were more lateral in females than in males and were absent in small-sized pelvises. It is highly recommended that the radiologist and the surgeon should be familiar with CM existence for decision-making with regard to emergency radiology imaging and intervention as well as when operating in proximity of that anatomic site.
