MRA, CTA and three-dimensional rotational angiography of incidentally detected bilateral accessory middle cerebral arteries.
Review in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe accessory middle cerebral artery and duplicated middle cerebral artery are anomalous, extremely rare and detected incidentally. While almost all cases where they are detected are unilateral, bilateral cases are extremely rare with only a few case reports.
methodsWe report a case of incidentally detected bilateral accessory middle cerebral arteries (AMCAs) on imaging findings at our hospital with a review of previous reports. CASE REPORT AND
resultsA sixty-year-old woman was brought to our hospital with right upper and lower extremity paralysis and dysarthria. Magnetic resonance imaging scan of the head showed cerebral infarction from the left putamen to the corona radiata and bilateral AMCAs on magnetic resonance angiography. We performed cerebral angiography and CT angiography to evaluate the vessels and obtained detailed imaging findings. The bilateral AMCAs were symmetrically located, both branching from the distal part of A1, and were type 3 according to Manelfe's classification. We reviewed the literature on bilateral AMCAs and found seven similar cases. The age, gender, and pathology varied widely, and the location of the bifurcation was symmetrical in six of the seven cases.
conclusionWe found bilateral AMCAs incidentally in a cerebral infarction that occurred in a sixty-year-old woman. We should consider the presence of abnormal vessels when treating cerebrovascular diseases.
