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

purposeThe objective of this article is to highlight the fact that cerebral aneurysms in children are heterogeneous unlike in the adult population. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis is a retrospective review of 17 children with intracranial aneurysms who were managed at a single institution from 2004 to 2009.

resultsThe median age was 12 years (range 10 months-17 years). Sixty-five percent of the aneurysms were saccular and 24% were fusiform. There was one infectious and one distal lenticulostriate aneurysm. Patients with saccular aneurysms were predominantly male and presented more commonly with intracranial hemorrhage (91%). The fusiform aneurysms were dissecting in nature or chronic with intramural thrombus and mass effect. The treatment was dependent upon the type and location of the aneurysm.

conclusionPedriatic aneurysms are a heterogeneous group of intracranial arterial diseases with different etiologies, diverse morphology, and dissimilar clinical manifestations.
