Artery of Percheron infarction: A case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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
The artery of Percheron (AOP) represents a rare anatomic variant of the posterior circulation. It is a solitary trunk that provides bilateral arterial supply to the rostral midbrain and paramedian thalamus. AOP infarction presentation varies, most often presents with altered mental status, memory impairment, and supranuclear vertical gaze palsy. Diagnosis of the AOP infarct is most often missed in the initial CT scan. A majority of these diagnoses are made outside the window of thrombolytic treatment for ischemic stroke. We report a case of a 67-year old male with a history of well-managed diabetes mellitus type 2 and hypertension, presented in the ER sudden onset severe drowsiness. On a physical exam, we found left pupil dilation and left eye deviation. Initial CT scan showed no pathological changes. The diagnosis was made on the third day of hospitalization via an MRI. Our case highlights the unusual presentation and that an absence of evidence of AOP infarction in CT scan does not exclude its diagnosis. The artery of the Percheron infarct requires a comprehensive clinical and radiological examination.
