A bicarotid trunk with associated right retroesophageal subclavian artery in a child with neurofibromatosis type 1 complicated by a left hemispheric stroke.

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
purposeTo describe the association between two aortic arch branch variants and its possible relationship with neurofibromatosis-1.
methodsA 5-year-old female with NF-1 diagnosis presented to the emergency department at 2 months of age with irritability, vomiting and left gaze deviation. Brain MRI showed a left side acute hemispheric stroke and left internal carotid occlusion.
resultsCT angiography of the neck showed the right and left common carotid arteries arising from a common vascular trunk coming from the aortic arch and a right retroesophageal subclavian artery.
conclusionAlthough the relationship between NF-1 mutation and aortic arch branch abnormalities has not been described, there is a recognized condition known as neurofibromatosis/Noonan syndrome which is an accepted variant of NF-1 with clinical features of both NF-1 and Noonan syndrome caused by dysregulation of the RAS-MAPK pathway. Aortic arch branch variations in patients with NF-1 could be explained by this association.
