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

To present a unique case of the internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery (ICA-PcomA) aneurysm penetrating the oculomotor nerve presenting a pure acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) without any oculomotor dysfunction. A 71-year-old woman presented with a sudden headache and drowsiness. She had no history of head trauma and did not manifest any neurological deficits including oculomotor nerve palsy. Computed tomography (CT) of her head revealed left ASDH. Subsequent CT angiography showed an aneurysm originating from the left ICA with an inferior projection having continuity with the hematoma. Intraoperative inspection revealed ASDH observed mainly in middle fossa and no subarachnoid hemorrhage, while the aneurysm was confirmed to split the oculomotor nerve and to be fixed with the middle fossa. The aneurysm was obliterated by direct clip application and the patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Oculomotor nerve palsy is an important warning sign of imminent rupture of ICA-PcomA aneurysm. However, we should consider that the ICA-PcomA aneurysm could rupture causing ASDH without any oculomotor nerve palsy, even though the aneurysm penetrated the oculomotor nerve.
