Lessons Learned from Mechanical Thrombectomy of an Acute Occlusion of a Duplicated Middle Cerebral Artery: A Case Report.

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
Objective: Detection of acute arterial occlusion in an anomalous middle cerebral artery (MCA) is challenging in an emergency setting because of its rarity. Case Presentation: We report an 81-year-old woman who presented with acute occlusion of a duplicated middle cerebral artery (DMCA). Although the absence of the superior trunk of the left MCA was identified on preoperative imaging, initial angiography showed no typical sign of the occluded vessel. Repeated angiography eventually revealed retrograde arterial flow parallel to the other visible MCA trunk, which raised the possibility of a DMCA. The occlusion occurred at the origin of the DMCA originating from the internal carotid artery terminus, which obscured its presence. Mechanical thrombectomy was performed and achieved complete recanalization. The DMCA had two trunks of approximately equal size. The patient completely recovered within 90 days. Conclusion: Comprehensive knowledge of cerebrovascular anomalies is essential to identify the occluded branch faster and accurately and to avoid thrombectomy-related complications in endovascular recanalization therapy. Relevant DMCA anatomy and tips for identifying an occluded DMCA are discussed.
