Smooth muscle cells and the formation, degeneration, and rupture of saccular intracranial aneurysm wall--a review of current pathophysiological knowledge.
Review in Translational stroke research, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 66 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage caused by rupture of a saccular intracranial aneurysm (sIA) is often fatal and causes significant loss of productive live years in addition to significant mortality. Around 3.5 % of the middle aged otherwise healthy population carries unruptured sIAs. Many sIAs never rupture, and since their prophylactic treatment is associated with risks of morbidity and even mortality, it is paramount to elucidate the biology that leads to sIA rupture in order be able to identify rupture-prone sIAs and to improve current therapies. Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a critical role both in the formation of sIAs, as well as in the repair and adaptation of the sIA wall to hemodynamic and proteolytic stress to which it is subjected. Loss of mural SMCs is characteristic to ruptured sIA walls, and experiments in animal models suggest that this loss of mural SMCs is causative to sIA growth and eventual rupture. Genetic factors that impair the function or survival of SMCs may predispose to sIA formation. Local or systemic therapy that increases the number of functioning SMCs in the sIA wall may have a potential to reduce the risk of sIA rupture. This review discusses the mechanisms and cellular interactions that SMCs have in the pathobiology of the sIA wall.
