Azygous anterior cerebral artery occlusion managed with Thrombectomy: a case report and literature review.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Azygous anterior cerebral artery (ACA) occlusion is a rare vascular anomaly that results in bilateral frontal infarction and carries a high morbidity rate. We present a 48-year-old male with no prior significant medical history who presented eight hours after sudden onset of right leg weakness. Initially, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was four. Computed tomography angiography revealed a solitary azygous ACA with distal A2 occlusion. Mechanical thrombectomy was initially postponed due to mild deficits, but it was performed after clinical deterioration to a NIHSS score of eight. The procedure successfully recanalized the artery. Post-procedure magnetic resonance imaging confirmed bilateral ACA infarcts. The patient received medical therapy and rehabilitation, resulting in complete neurological recovery within three months. This case underscores the diagnostic difficulties associated with azygous ACA occlusion in patients presenting with fluctuating symptoms. Timely observation and intervention were pivotal in preventing severe disability.
