A rare variation of five major vessels arising from the aortic arch with an absence of brachiocephalic trunk.

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
The most common variations of the aortic arch branching pattern usually involve the distance between the vessels arising from it and their dimensions. Changes in the number of vessels originating from the aortic arch, ranging from one to four or more major vessels instead of the classical three vessels as independent branches, are uncommon. Incidents of branching patterns involving four independent vessels arising from the aortic arch are rare, and reports of five or six independent vessels are extremely rare. We report on a case of an absent brachiocephalic trunk associated with an aberrant right subclavian artery and five distinct major vessels arising directly from the aortic arch in a South African male. Although most congenital vascular variations are incidental findings on angiographic images, some have also been associated with cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral aneurysms. In addition, knowledge of these rare variations is of diagnostic importance as their presence may increase the difficulty and alter the specificity of vascular procedures performed using endovascular and open techniques.
