1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 anterior choroidal artery (AChA) injuries can result in severe neurologic deficits, so requiring careful observation to avoid inadvertent damage during neuroendovascular procedures. In this case report, we present the unusual case of an anomalous hyperplastic AChA associated with a fetal-type posterior communicating artery (PCoA), and an unruptured internal carotid artery (ICA) -PCoA aneurysm. A 54-year-old woman presented with persistent headache. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an unruptured cerebral aneurysm in the right ICA, and cerebral angiography revealed a proximal fetal-type PComA and a distal anomalous hyperplastic AChA. Coil embolization was performed with no neurologic deficits and the target lesion was embolized with a total of 6 coils. An anomalous hyperplastic AchA has a lengthy course with numerous choroidal and perforating branches, and therefore, an abundant perfusion region. Thorough knowledge of the development and anatomy of anomalous arteries is important for safely performing endovascular procedures without causing any ischemic complications.
