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

We report a case of a 50-year-old woman whose 0.5 mm middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm was treated with gauze wrapping at an outside facility. She returned 9 months later with seizures and an inflammatory process in the region of the prior aneurysm. Surgical re-exploration at that time was aborted. Two years later, she presented with a gauzoma associated with local inflammatory response and severe narrowing of the MCA. A common carotid artery to MCA bypass was performed, followed by surgical removal of the gauze and inflammatory material. Over a 3-month period, she recovered with significant improvement in her preoperative neurological deficits.
