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
purposesTo report a unique configuration of the cerebral arterial circle identified incidentally during magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
methodsAn 87-year-old female patient was evaluated using MRA on a 3-Tesla scanner with the time-of-flight (TOF) technique.
resultsOn the anterior circulation, an arterial ring was identified at the junction of the left anterior cerebral and anterior communicating arteries, suggesting a double origin of the left A2 segment. An accessory middle cerebral artery originated from the proximal left A1 segment. Additionally, the right A1 segment was aplastic, with the right A2 segment supplied by the left anterior cerebral. In the posterior circulation, the left posterior cerebral artery exhibited a fetal-type origin with a hypoplastic P1 segment. On the right side, a duplicated posterior cerebral artery originated from the internal carotid artery and supplied the temporal branch.
conclusionsThis case presents a rare combination of an A2 double origin, accessory MCA, and PCA duplication, highlighting the morphological complexity of the cerebral arterial circle. Detailed preoperative assessment using volume-rendered MRA is essential to identify such complex variants and minimize intraoperative complications.
