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

purposeExcluding aplasia and hypoplasia of the P1 segment of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA), anatomical variations in the PCA are rare. To our best knowledge, there are few reports of an extremely long P1 segment of the PCA.

methodsHerein, we report a rare case of an extremely long P1 segment of the PCA, which was diagnosed by 1.5-T magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).

resultsA 96-year-old woman was transferred by ambulance to our hospital with impaired consciousness. Her symptom improved, and magnetic resonance imaging showed no significant findings. MRA revealed an extremely long P1 segment of the left PCA. The length of the P1 segment of the left PCA was 27.3 mm. The left posterior communicating artery (PCoA) was 20.9 mm, which is not considered long. The left anterior choroidal artery branched from the internal carotid artery distal to the PCoA branching position. Basilar artery fenestration was also incidentally identified.

conclusionCareful imaging assessment was important for identifying the extremely long P1 segment of the PCA in the present case. This rare anatomical variation can also be confirmed by 1.5-T MRA.
