First Report of Interaction Among Ponticulus Posticus Anomaly and Stenosis of Carotid, Vertebral Arteries.
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
abstractIn humans, body asymmetry might affect vascular asymmetry. This study aimed to examine whether there is a relationship between side asymmetry and the presence of ponticulus posticus (PP) anomaly, carotid, and vertebral artery stenosis. Retrospective analysis was done on the data files of patients with carotid and vertebral arteries who were admitted to our hospital between November 2018 and December 2022 for the presence of PP anomaly. There were 31 patients (25 males and 6 females, with a median age as 69.54 years (range 51-84 years). PP anomaly was detected in 11 of 31 patients (31.48% of cases). The correlation test showed that the presence of PP was negatively correlated with carotid stenosis on the right side, but there was no such correlation on the left. This study demonstrated that there is an innovative anatomical correlation between the PP anomaly and carotid stenosis in the adult patient cohort.
