Article in Surgical neurology international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: Twig-like middle cerebral artery (T-MCA) is a rare vascular abnormality characterized by the replacement of the M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) with a plexiform arterial network of small vessels. T-MCA is generally regarded as an embryological persistence. Conversely, T-MCA may also be a secondary sequela but no reports of cases of Case Description: A 41-year-old woman was referred to our hospital from a nearby clinic because of transient left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed mild stenosis of the bilateral MCAs. The patient then underwent MR imaging follow-ups once a year. MR imaging at the age of 53 showed a right M1 occlusion. Cerebral angiography revealed a right M1 occlusion and formation of a plexiform network consistent with the occlusion site, leading to the diagnosis of Conclusion: This is the first case report describing possible
