What are the treatment options for blister-like aneurysms?
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Treatment of blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs) of the supraclinoidal internal carotid artery (ICA) is challenging and the optimal treatment is yet to be defined. The treatment options for ICA BBAS are microsurgery, endovascular therapy, or a combination of the two. The microsurgical armamentarium consists mainly of direct aneurysm clipping with or without protective EC-IC bypass, clip-wrapping, or trap ligation with ICA sacrifice with or without EC-IC bypass. The endovascular treatment options are mainly endovascular ICA ligation, multiple overlapping stents (≥ 3) with or without coiling, covered stents, or flow diverters. In four recent meta-analyses of BBAs, neither microsurgical nor endovascular therapy had an impact on clinical outcome in multivariate analysis. Microsurgery offered aneurysm obliteration rates superior to endovascular techniques, but came at a higher risk of intraoperative bleeding. Endovascular therapy increased the likelihood of a second treatment, conversion to another treatment modality, and incomplete aneurysm obliteration. In this review, we discuss pros and cons of the above approaches while adding our own viewpoints to the discussion.
