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 two arterial rings of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA)-the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) complex diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
methodsA 72-year-old woman with a brain tumor underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRA using a 3-Tesla scanner. MRA was performed using a standard 3-dimensional time-of-flight technique.
resultsMRI showed a small convexity meningioma at the right parietal region. MRA showed no pathological lesion. The A1 segment of the left ACA was absent, and bilateral A2 segments were supplied by right ACA. There were two arterial rings at the ACA-ACoA junction, bilaterally. The arterial rings showed triangle configuration, suggesting duplicate origin of the A2 rather than A2 origin fenestration or partial duplication of the ACoA. There was also fetal-type right posterior cerebral artery.
conclusionACA-ACoA complex is reported to be the most frequent site of cerebral arterial fenestration. However, duplicated ACoA, partially duplicated ACoA and other arterial rings of the ACA-ACoA complex were confused and reported as a ACoA fenestration. ACoA true fenestration is rarely reported by MRA. The present case had bilateral ACA-ACoA junction triangular rings, suggesting bilateral duplicate origin of the A2 segment of the ACAs. No similar case has been reported previously in relevant English-language literature. Careful observation of MRA is important for the detection of rare arterial variations. Partial volume-rendering images of MRA is useful for identifying complicated small arterial variations.
