Dysplastic aberrant left subclavian artery originating from a thoracic intersegmental artery associated with a right aortic arch.

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
purposeA right aortic arch (RAA) is a rare vascular anomaly that often coexists with an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA). Due to the rarity of RAA, the development of an ALSA is not well understood.
methodWe describe a case in which a 58-year-old man who was scheduled to undergo posterior decompression and fusion surgery for thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament from Th1 to Th3 was found to have a RAA and an ALSA.
resultsPreoperative computed tomography angiography demonstrated a RAA and an ALSA. The ALSA was extremely tortuous and ran in the paraspinal muscles behind the thoracic laminae, which meant it was in the surgical field. The ALSA arose from the descending aorta and bifurcated into the left segmental arteries of Th1 and Th2, and also bifurcated into the left vertebral artery, which had a normal subsequent course. The dysplastic ALSA was considered to have developed from the thoracic intersegmental artery. Based on preoperative examination findings, we performed spinal surgery without vessel injury.
conclusionWe report a rare case of a dysplastic ALSA that developed from the thoracic intersegmental artery with a RAA. The knowledge of this anomaly provides safety in spinal surgery of the cervicothoracic junction.
