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

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) (ASL-MRA) is a newly developed method that can visualize small arteries, particularly those running tortuously and inferiorly at slow flow rates. It provides excellent visualization of the external carotid artery system, with superior performance in visualizing the middle meningeal artery (MMA) compared to that of computed tomography angiography (CTA). Here, we report a case of maxillary sinus carcinoma in which ASL-MRA revealed an ipsilateral ophthalmic artery originating from the MMA that was not visualized on CTA. Volume rendering or maximum intensity projection images of CTA may fail to depict small arteries that run close to bony structures, including anomalies of the MMA originating from the external carotid artery system. In such cases, ASL-MRA may serve as a useful tool to easily visualize the arteries.
