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 anterior communicating artery complex (ACAC) comprises the A1 and A2 segments of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and the anterior communicating artery (ACoA). It is a common site for aneurysms and variations in anterior cerebral circulation. With ongoing advancements in endovascular intervention, there is an increasing need for detailed anatomical knowledge of the ACAC. This study was conducted to explore the anatomical measurements, including the length and diameter, of the ACAC in a South African population.
methodThe study involved the analysis of 200 adult magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) scans (145 female, 55 male) from Groote Schuur Hospital, Department of Radiology, where the internal length and diameter of ACAC vessels were obtained.
resultsThe average internal length of the right and left A1 ACA segments was 13.5 (3.48) mm and 12.85 (2.57) mm, respectively. The internal diameter of the right and left ACA was 2.26 (0.45) mm and 2.25 (0.68) mm, respectively. For the A2 ACA, the average internal length for the right A2 ACA was 23.4 (3.94) mm, and the left A2 ACA had an average internal length of 23.7 (3.97) mm. The average internal diameter for the right and left A2 ACA was 2.3 (0.33) mm and 2.37 (0.78) mm, respectively. For ACoA, the average internal length was 1.5 (1.76) mm, and the average diameter was 0.85 (0.91) mm.
conclusionThe morphometric parameters of the ACAC measured in this study were within similar ranges to those reported in previous international and national studies.
