Reference Values of Cerebral Artery Diameters of the Anterior Circulation by Digital Subtraction Angiography: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
A threshold-based classification of cerebral vasospasm needs reference values for intracranial vessel diameters on digital subtraction angiography (DSA). We aimed to generate adjusted reference values for this purpose by retrospectively analyzing angiograms and potential influencing factors on vessel diameters. Angiograms of the anterior circulation were evaluated in 278 patients aged 18−81 years. The vessel diameters of 453 angiograms (175 bilateral) were gathered from nine defined measuring sites. The effect sizes of physical characteristics (i.e., body weight and height, body mass index, gender, age, and cranial side) and anatomical variations were calculated with MANOVA. Segments bearing aneurysms were excluded for the calculation of reference values. Adjusted vessel diameters were calculated via linear regression analysis of the vessel diameter data. Vessel diameters increased with age and body height. Male and right-sided vessels were larger in diameter. Of the anatomical variations, only the hypoplastic/aplastic A1 segment had a significant influence (p < 0.05) on values of the anterior cerebral artery and the internal carotid artery with a small effect size (|ω2| > 0.01) being excluded from the reference values. We provide gender-, age-, and side-adjusted reference values and nomograms of arterial vessel diameters in the anterior circulation.
