Successful Mechanical Thrombectomy for Bilateral Anterior Cerebral Artery Occlusions in a Rare Anatomical Variant: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is usually caused by acute occlusion of the cerebral artery. Bilateral anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) originating from the anterior communicating branch of the same internal carotid artery are a rare anatomical variation in clinical practice. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) of simultaneous acute occlusion of the bilateral ACAs with this variation has rarely been reported. Case Presentation: A 49-year-old man was referred for sudden onset of right-side weakness and aphasia for almost 55 min. AIS was considered after no bleeding was observed on emergency head computed tomography. Digital subtraction angiography was performed, and bilateral ACAs were found to originate from the anterior communicating branch of the left internal carotid artery and were occluded in their A2 segment. After immediate emergency MT with a stent retriever, the symptoms obviously improved. Conclusion: Simultaneous acute occlusion of the bilateral ACAs originating from the anterior communicating branch of the same internal carotid artery is rare in clinical practice. For such patients, MT with a stent retriever is feasible even if there is a risk of thrombectomy escape, and a stent retriever with aspiration or a direct aspiration technique may be more appropriate.
