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

purposeFenestrations of posterior cerebral artery are exceedingly rare and, therefore, deserve being reported.

methodsDuring an educational dissection, a peculiar anatomical variant of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) was found.

resultsDuring an educational dissection targeting the right cerebellopontine angle, a peculiar variant of the right PCA was found. The respective posterior communicating artery inserted posteriorly into the junction of the P1 and P2 segments of the PCA. The P1 segment was thinner than the P2 segment. That junction was superior to the oculomotor nerve and was fenestrated, with a thin postero-medial arm facing the cerebral peduncle, and a larger antero-lateral arm formed by the distal end of the P1 segment and the proximal end of the P2 segment.

conclusionsTo the authors' knowledge, fenestrated P1-P2 junctions of PCA were not found previously by dissection. The evidence presented here recommends such variations not to be ignored.
