A Rare Case of Congenital Internal Carotid Artery Agenesis and Contralateral Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysm.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare congenital entity. This anomaly is typically occult in nature. However, the effects of an incidental discovery secondary to a contralateral ICA aneurysmal rupture can be devastating. The association between agenesis of the ICA and contralateral intracranial aneurysm formation is significantly higher than de novo incidental intracranial aneurysms in the general population. It is important to evaluate the presence of a contralateral intracranial aneurysm in the setting of known agenesis of the ICA. This allows for the performance of prophylactic embolization and characterizes collateral cerebral circulation.
