ArticleSurgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA2023
A rare variant of accessory posterior cerebral artery.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundThe posterior cerebral artery (PCA) leaves from the distal end of the basilar artery (BA) and is joined to the internal carotid artery (ICA) by the posterior communicating artery (PComA).
methodThe archived computed tomography angiogram of a 67 y.o. male patient was studied anatomically.
resultsAnatomically normal PCAs left the BA. Both anterior choroidal arteries were found but the right one was hyperplastic. As the latter distributed parieto-occipital and calcarine branches, it was regarded as an accessory PCA. It was laterally to the normal one, inferior to the vein of Rosenthal.
conclusionThe terms "accessory PCA" and "hyperplastic anterior choroidal artery" describe the same morphology. Rare anatomical variants could benefit from a homogenous terminology.
