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

objectiveTraumatic pseudoaneurysms are rare but life-threatening lesions. We investigated the patients with these lesions to clarify their clinical characteristics and therapeutic strategies and we also reviewed the literatures on the treatment principles, possible options, and outcomes.

methodsThere were a total of 8 patients who were treated with traumatic intracranial pseudoaneurysms between April 1980 and January 2009. Medical charts and the imaging studies were reviewed for analysis. The outcome was measured with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 6 months after treatment.

resultsAll 8 patients were male and the mean age was 25 years old. Six of those were located at the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the other 2 was located at the M2 segment of middle cerebral artery. The causes of trauma were car accidents in 6, penetrating injury through the orbit in 1, and slip down injury in 1 patient. Massive epistaxis or hematemesis occurred in all patients with a pseudoaneurysm at the cavernous and ophthalmic segment of the ICA. All 6 patients of the cavernous and ophthalmic ICA group showed favorable outcome of mRS 0 to 1. The outcome of patients with middle cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm was mRS 2 to 3.

conclusionUpon prompt diagnosis and proper treatment planning, it is possible to achieve favorable outcome in these patients. Lesions located at the cavernous segment of the ICA favored endovascular treatment while those at the middle cerebral artery favored surgical treatment.
