Aneurysms Arising from Persistent Arteries in the Vertebrobasilar Paramedian Longitudinal Axis: Two Case Reports.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 50-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman with consciousness disturbance were diagnosed to have suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) involving the posterior fossa. In both cases, the initial 3D CT angiogram failed to reveal the SAH source in the vertebrobasilar system. Delayed 3D rotational angiography revealed aneurysms on unfamiliar aberrant arteries. One was a dissecting aneurysm located between the proximal part of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery and the distal part of the intracranial vertebral artery. It was trapped and resected; the patient subsequently presented with lateral medullary symptoms. The other aneurysm was between the distal posterior and the distal anterior inferior cerebellar artery. It was successfully embolized; there were no complications. We think that the aberrant aneurysm-harboring vessels encountered in these two patients were primitive arteries on or adjacent to the vertebrobasilar paramedian longitudinal axis and that they persisted past the embryologic stage. Such aneurysms arising from unfamiliar persistent arteries beside the brainstem are extremely rare but must be considered when the SAH source is not detected in the trunk of the vertebrobasilar system.
