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
purposeTo describe a case of right vertebral artery (VA) arising from the extreme proximal right subclavian artery (SA) and entering the C3 transverse foramen (TF), which was diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
methodsA 46-year-old woman with acute pontine infarction underwent MRA using a 3-Tesla scanner. MRA was performed using a standard 3-dimensional time-of-flight technique.
resultsMRA of the intracranial region revealed no pathological lesions. Fenestrations of the basilar artery were observed. MRA from the aortic arch (AA) to the craniovertebral junction level also showed no pathological lesions; however, there was a right VA arising from the extreme proximal right SA. The distance from the origin of the right SA to the origin of the right VA was 3 mm. The right VA entered the C3 TF.
conclusionThe right VA rarely enters C3 TF, with a reported prevalence of approximately 0.1%. The right VA arises from the right SA at two types of points: a normal point of origin and an extremely proximal point of origin. The latter type is considered to result from the same embryonic developmental variation of the left VA arising from AA. Although the image quality of MRA at the level of AA is not as good as that of computed tomography angiography, careful observation of MRA and the creation of reformatted MRA images are important for the correct diagnosis of this rare variation.
