Cortical and bridging veins of the upper cerebral convexity: a magnetic resonance imaging study.

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
purposeThere is no study exploring the cortical veins (CVs) and connecting bridging veins (BVs) with neuroimaging modalities. The present study aimed to characterize these veins of the upper cerebral convexity.
methodsA total of 89 patients with intact cerebral hemispheres and covering meninges underwent thin-sliced, contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, three injected specimens were dissected in this study.
resultsIn cadaver dissection, the BVs were observed to course in the arachnoid sheaths, suspended from the dura mater. The medial parts of the BVs, located near the superior sagittal sinus (SSS)-BV junction site, were occasionally exposed subdurally. The CVs were formed by venous channels arising from the cerebral gyri and those emerging from the sulci. On MRI, the CVs and connecting BVs were identified in the medial and latera convexity areas and medial surface of the cerebrum. These veins were highly variable in number, thickness, length, course, and distribution. In the medial convexity area, the CVs arising from the gyri were identified in 58% of patients, while they were found only in 11% of patients in the lateral convexity area.
conclusionIn the medial convexity area, involving the parasagittal region, the CVs connect more densely with the BVs that may predispose to injury during neurosurgical procedures. Mechanical impact exerted the area, diameter of the veins in the craniocaudal direction, and number of venous afferences may affect the SSS-BV junctional region in an indirect manner and lead to the development of acute subdural hematoma.
