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

purposeTo describe a case of persistent trigeminal artery variant (PTAV) and presumed ophthalmic artery (OA) simultaneously arising from the inferolateral trunk (ILT).

methodsA 53-year-old woman with an initial episode of convulsion underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR angiography (MRA) of the intracranial region for the evaluation of brain and vascular lesions. The MR machine was a 3-T scanner.

resultsMRI revealed no pathological brain lesions. On MRA, the left anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) arose from the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA), indicative of the PTAV. The arising point was more distal than the usual point, and the presumed OA also arose simultaneously from the short common trunk, which was considered the ILT.

conclusionThere are two types of PTA: lateral (usual) and medial (intrasellar) PTA. The lateral-type PTA and PTAV arise from the ICA of the distal precavernous-proximal cavernous segment and take a course similar to that of the posterior fossa. The medial type arises slightly more in the distal cavernous segment than in the lateral type. The OA rarely arises from the cavernous segment of the ICA and enters the orbit via the superior orbital fissure. The origin of this type of OA is considered to be the ILT. We herein report a case of a PTAV and presumed OA arising simultaneously from an ILT. No similar case has been reported in the relevant English language literature.
