Radiological evaluation of middle meningeal artery by 3D rotational angiography.

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
PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the topographic features and branches of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) by three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) and describe its variations' radiological classification based on previous clinical examples of cadaver studies and literature.MethodsWe consecutively evaluated 87 cerebral hemispheres, including 32 females and 49 right sides between May 2020 and December 2021 who had undergone unilateral or bilateral cerebral and carotid artery 3D rotational angiography imaging by CCA injection and between 18 and 76-years-old. Maximum intensity projection images with 10-30 mm slice thickness were used for the morphological evaluations and measurements of MMA and its foramen, canal, and branches.ResultsThe diameters of the common carotid artery, internal carotid artery, and external carotid artery were significantly smaller in females than in men (p = 0.021, 0.021, and <0.001, respectively). According to the branching pattern, the most common pattern of the MMA was Type Ia (49.4%). The ophthalmic artery completely originated from MMA in the 1 (1.1%) cerebral hemisphere. The MMA arises from the ophthalmic artery in 2 cerebral hemispheres (2.3%), and the ophthalmic artery and maxillary artery in 2 cerebral hemispheres (2.3%).ConclusionIt was observed that the branching pattern may show differences when compared to the cadaver studies with a radiologic evaluation with 3D-RA.
