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

Variations at the junction of embryonic internal carotid and vertebrobasilar systems are rare and associated with a high incidence of stroke. During cadaver dissection, we demonstrated for the first time a case of hypoplastic right vertebral artery associated with partial duplication of the distal part of the right P1 segment of a partial fetal posterior cerebral artery (FPCA) and bilateral duplication of superior cerebellar arteries (SCAs), of which, the upper right SCA originated from PCA. We hypothesize that the poor development of the right half of the vertebrobasilar system caused the persistence of FPCA with anomalous origin of the right upper SCA as well as partial duplication of P1 segment of PCA as a remnant of the weak anastomosis between the embryonic right PCA and the basilar system. Such complex variations provide a huge challenge in their diagnosis and in choosing the suitable treatment modality for the stroke.
