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

backgroundThe diagnosis and therapy during surgery depend largely on a full account of anatomic characteristics. Apart from regular structures, the common, less common or even uncommon anatomic variations are critical for procedural planning. This is especially true during craniocerebral microsurgery, where small vascular variations can affect the final surgical results and patient prognosis. CASE SUMMARY: Herein, two rare variations concerning the A1 (horizontal) segment of anterior cerebral artery (ACA1) were introduced. One enabled the communication between perforating branch of ACA1 and dural artery of anterior skull base, which was discovered during autopsy. The other was ophthalmic artery (OA) originating from ACA1, shown on digital angiography.

conclusionIn this study, we found two rare anatomical variations. One was an abnormal OA originated from the anterior communicating artery. The other was a perforating branch of the A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery, which communicated with meningeal vessels in the anterior skull base. This finding is of great significance for the treatment of anterior communicating artery aneurysm or in other anterior skull base surgery.
