Stenotic changes of the posterior cerebral artery are a major contributing factor for cerebral infarction in moyamoya disease.

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
backgroundSome patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) show broad infarction with moderate internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, whereas others with complete ICA occlusion show no infarction. This suggests that other factors contribute to the occurrence of infarction. Contributing factors predictive of cerebral infarcts must be identified for the prevention of infarction and the consequent neurological deficits.
methodsWe examined data from 93 patients with confirmed MMD for the presence of infarction (
resultsThe incidence of PCA steno-occlusive lesions was significantly higher in infarcted (77.8%) than in non-infarcted hemispheres (TIA, 14.6%; asymptomatic, 9.8%; hemorrhagic 9.1%;
conclusionsThis is the multivariate statistical analysis study identifying PCA steno-occlusive lesions as the most important independent factor that is predictive to cerebral infarction in moyamoya patients. The prediction and inhibition of PCA steno-occlusive changes may help to prevent cerebral infarction.
