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

backgroundWhile hemodynamic stress can result in aneurysm formation, it rarely contributes to the development of peripheral aneurysms in collateral pathways. We report two patients with ruptured distal aneurysms in a collateral pathway associated with stenosis of a major cerebral artery. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 67-year-old man presented with intracerebral hemorrhage in the right frontal lobe. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed severe stenosis of the right middle cerebral artery and two aneurysms in the collateral pathway of the right anterior cerebral artery. The ruptured aneurysm was trapped and resected; histologically, it was a true saccular aneurysm. The unruptured aneurysm was clipped and the patient was discharged without additional neurological deficits. The second patient was a 73-year-old woman with subarachnoid hemorrhage. DSA revealed three arterial dilations. On the 7(th) day of hospitalization, one of the aneurysms in a posterior inferior cerebellar artery-anterior inferior cerebellar artery anastomosis that functioned as a collateral pathway in the presence of severe basilar artery stenosis was found to be enlarged. It was treated by selective aneurysmal coil embolization with parent artery preservation. Her postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged without any neurological deficits.

conclusionWe document the successful treatment of two patients with ruptured aneurysms in the peripheral portion of a collateral pathway. We discuss the histology of peripheral aneurysms and present a review of the literature.
