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

Accessory middle cerebral arteries (AMCAs) are found in 0.3-4.0% of cases, and ipsilateral dual AMCAs are rare. A seventy-three-year-old man presented with right hemiplegia and total aphasia. Magnetic resonance angiography showed left carotid artery occlusion. We infused him with tissue plasminogen activator. Digital subtraction angiogram showed revascularization of the left internal carotid artery. However, the left proximal anterior cerebral artery was occluded. We performed mechanical thrombectomy and achieved partial reperfusion. CT angiography on the tenth day showed ipsilateral dual AMCAs. Due to middle cerebral artery anomalies, we performed mechanical thrombectomy using contact aspiration which is safer than other techniques.
