Spiral twisting of distal (V4) vertebral arteries in an asymptomatic female and its embryological basis.

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
Intracranial vessels develop early in embryonic life through mutual interaction and integration of aortic arches giving the carotid arteries and intrinsic longitudinal neural system forming the posterior circulation. Due to the relatively short time and faster pace of completion of development, minor absent/persistent segments may give rise to either asymptomatic anatomical variants or hemodynamically significant changes. Intracranial vessels - both anterior carotid and posterior vertebrobasilar systems - are known to have many common anatomical variations like hypoplastic segments (A1 or P1 segments of anterior or posterior cerebral arteries) and persistent carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomotic channels. These variants may be displayed using MRI and MRA which represent useful non-invasive investigative modality of the neck and Willis's circle. We report an interesting hitherto rarely reported anatomical variation in the form of spiral twisting of distal vertebral (V4 segments) and vertebrobasilar junction in a 36-year-old female and discuss the underlying embryological possibilities based on the embryological development of the vertebrobasilar system.
