Morphological and Hemodynamic Risk Factors for Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm: a Case-Control Study of 190 Patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
This study analyzed morphometric and hemodynamic parameters of aneurysmal and non-aneurysmal middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcations and their relationship with optimal values derived from the principle of minimum work (PMW). The study included 96 patients with MCA aneurysm and 94 controls. Aneurysm patients presented with significantly higher values of the radius and cross-sectional area of the MCA trunk, angle between the post-bifurcation branches (α angle) and volume flow rate (VFR) and had significantly lower values of junction exponent and pulsatility index than the controls.
