Dangerous Extracranial-Intracranial Anastomoses: What the Interventionalist Must Know.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
The extracranial and intracranial circulations are richly interconnected at numerous locations, a functional connectivity which underlies their impressive capacity for adaptive plasticity in the setting of vasoocclusive disease. While evolutionarily beneficial, these connections can also result in inadvertent communication with the intracranial circulation during embolization of extracranial vessels, potentially resulting in stroke or cranial nerve palsy. While these anastomoses are always present to a certain extent, flow through them occurs under predictable circumstances, and thus embolization of the extracranial vasculature can be performed safely when knowledge of functional anatomy is combined with adherence to basic principles. Herein, we will review the anatomy of known extracranial-intracranial anastomoses and strategies for avoidance of unwanted intracranial embolization. We will also review the vascular supply to cranial nerves most at risk during common neurointerventional procedures, as well as blood supply to mucosal structures.
