1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 middle meningeal artery plays a vital role in supplying the cranial dura mater and is frequently targeted in some therapies. We describe another case of the pharyngo-tympano-stapedial variant of the middle meningeal artery found incidentally in a patient undergoing a cerebral angiogram. This anatomical variation finds the middle meningeal artery branching from the proximal segment of the cervical internal carotid artery. Understanding these anatomical variations is crucial to avoiding neurological complications during procedures.
