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 right and left vertebral arteries are the first branches of the ipsilateral subclavian arteries. However, in the presence of anatomical variation due to complex embryogenesis, the vertebral artery can arise directly from the aortic arch or any of its major branches. The atypical origin of the vertebral artery is commonly associated with the left vertebral artery. Anatomical variation in the origin of the right vertebral artery is rare. Most available reports are case reports from international studies. We report on a case of right vertebral artery arising from the ipsilateral common carotid artery with an absent brachiocephalic trunk in a South African patient examined by digital subtraction angiography. Reports on anatomical variations are of diagnostic importance prior to surgical interventions or endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations.
