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

introductionDissecting aneurysms of the cerebral arteries are uncommon vascular malformations. Neurosurgical treatment remains critical in the management of patients with such vascular pathologies. CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old Caucasian woman presented with a sudden onset of severe headache and loss of consciousness. Computed tomography revealed diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage, while a computed tomography disclosed a dissecting aneurysm of the precommunicating segment of the right anterior cerebral artery. Cerebral carotid angiography confirmed the presence of the dissecting aneurysm. Due to the peculiar anatomic configuration, endovascular treatment was excluded and surgery was selected. As the left circulation perfused both postcommunicating segments of the anterior cerebral artery and the distal right precommunicating segment was hypoplastic, direct clipping of the right precommunicating segment, close to its origin from the internal carotid artery, was carried out. She recovered after surgery and a late angiography showed the correct positioning of the clip, with regular perfusion of both right and left postcommunicating segments.

conclusionsThe management of dissecting aneurysms of the cerebral arteries is still controversial. With this report we highlight a possible neurosurgical option among therapeutic strategies for these uncommon vascular lesions.
