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

We herein report a case of fenestration of the superior cerebellar artery (SCA), which was incidentally diagnosed by magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. A 65-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for unruptured cerebral aneurysms. MR angiography revealed 2 unruptured aneurysms. It also showed fenestration of the left SCA near its origin from the basilar artery, as well as several other vascular variations: a left common carotid artery arising from the brachiocephalic trunk, and a right vertebral artery terminating to the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Yearly observation was chosen as a treatment strategy due to the small size of the cerebral aneurysms. According to previous reports, SCA fenestration is an extremely rare variation. This is the second case of SCA fenestration diagnosed by MR angiography in the relevant English-language literature.
