Accessory middle cerebral artery associated with an accessory anterior cerebral artery.

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
purposeAlthough both accessory middle cerebral artery (MCA) and accessory anterior cerebral artery (ACA) are not rare anatomical variations, their combination is rare and there are only a limited number of reports of such combinations.
methodsWe report a case of accessory MCA associated with an accessory ACA diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
resultsA 39-year-old woman visited our hospital because of right facial discomfort. She underwent 1.5-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging and MRA. MRA showed a left accessory MCA originating from the left ACA A1 segment. MRA also showed an accessory ACA that formed a triplicated ACA at its A2 segment.
conclusionCareful imaging assessment is important to identify multiple anatomical variations such as an accessory MCA associated with an accessory ACA. In our case, this rare anatomical variation was confirmed by 1.5-Tesla MRA.
