Behavioral profile of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: a systematic review.
Article in Annals of clinical and translational neurology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesTo systematically review the literature on the neuropsychological, psychosocial, and functional profiles of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
methodsThis review was limited to peer-reviewed research articles that reported cognitive, psychosocial, and/or functional profiles of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Studies were identified through Medline and PsychINFO by searching "(unruptured [intracranial OR cerebral] aneurysm) AND (cogniti* OR neuropsycholog* OR anxiety OR depression OR [quality of life] OR work OR employment OR [activities of daily living] OR [instrumental activities of daily living])." Only articles that were published since January 1997 were considered. Reference lists of included articles were inspected for additional studies. Only articles in English were included. Case studies were excluded. Twenty-two articles were included in this review.
resultsThe literature demonstrates that although treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms allays anxiety, it also results in an observable, though transient decline in cognition and daily functioning. Even before treatment, preliminary evidence hints that these patients are not free of such impairments.
conclusionsThe algorithm that underlies the decision to treat an unruptured intracranial aneurysm ought to add more weight to the neuropsychological, psychosocial, and functional profiles of these patients. The clinical relevance of these patients does not begin and end with their risk of rupture.
