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

The artery of Percheron (AOP) is a unique variant of the thalamic and midbrain perforating arteries. It originates from the P1 branch of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) and supplies the bilateral paramedian thalami (BPT) along with variable contributions to the rostral midbrain. Four infarction patterns have been identified as a result of an AOP stroke, each associated with varying prognostic outcomes. We present an 89-year-old female with an AOP infarction and discuss the associated symptoms, implicated anatomy, and prognosis.
