Correlation between collateral compensation of the posterior cerebral artery on 5 T magnetic resonance imaging and clinical classifications in patients with Moyamoya angiopathy.

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
purposeVarious clinical classifications of Moyamoya angiopathy (MMA) have different characteristics of collateral compensation. Advancements in 5 T MRI have made it possible to non-invasively assess vascular collateralization using 4-dimensional MR angiography (4DMRA). The objective of this study is to analyze collateral compensation in MMA patients using 4DMRA and determine variations among different clinical classifications. MATERIALS AND
methodsCollateral compensation of posterior cerebral artery (PCA) to anterior circulation was evaluated using 4DMRA at 5 T MRI. After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate analyses were conducted to compare the distribution of PCA collateral compensation among patients with different clinical classifications of MMA.
results85 MMA patients were enrolled in the study. Among the 158 hemispheres evaluated, 100 were asymptomatic, 7 were hemorrhagic, 50 were ischemic, and 1 had a combination of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in total PCA collateral compensation scores between asymptomatic and ischemic hemispheres (P < 0.001, 95% CI [0.614, 0.839]). Subgroup analysis revealed a clear distinction between asymptomatic hemispheres and ischemic hemispheres (P = 0.001, 95% CI [0.193, 0.677]) in terms of PCA compensation to middle cerebral artery through the parieto-occipital branch. However, no notable differences were observed in other compensation pathways.
conclusionThe collateral compensation of PCA to the anterior circulation in MMA patients, assessed by 4DMRA at 5 T MRI, is significantly associated with ischemic MMA. The parieto-occipital branch may be the most important compensatory pathway. 4DMRA can potentially serve as a valuable tool for evaluating the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with MMA.
