The role of wall shear stress in the parent artery as an independent variable in the formation status of anterior communicating artery aneurysms.

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
objectivesThe study aimed to determine which hemodynamic parameters independently characterize anterior communicating artery (AcomA) aneurysm formation and explore the threshold of wall shear stress (WSS) of the parent artery to better illustrate the correlation between the magnitude of WSS and AcomA aneurysm formation.
methodsEighty-one patients with AcomA aneurysms and 118 patients without intracranial aneurysms (control population), as confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) from January 2014 to May 2017, were included in this cross-sectional study. Three-dimensional-DSA was performed to evaluate the morphologic characteristics of AcomA aneurysms. Local hemodynamic parameters were obtained using transcranial color-coded duplex (TCCD). Multivariate logistic regression and a two-piecewise linear regression model were used to determine which hemodynamic parameters are independent predictors of AcomA aneurysm formation and identify the threshold effect of WSS of the parent artery with respect to AcomA aneurysm formation.
resultsUnivariate analyses showed that the WSS (p < 0.0001), angle between the A1 and A2 segments of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) (p < 0.001), hypertension (grade II) (p = 0.007), fasting blood glucose (FBG; > 6.0 mmol/L) (p = 0.005), and dominant A1 (p < 0.001) were the significant parameters. Multivariate analyses showed a significant association between WSS of the parent artery and AcomA aneurysm formation (p = 0.0001). WSS of the parent artery (7.8-12.3 dyne/cm
conclusionsWSS ranging between 7.8 and 12.3 dyne/cm KEY POINTS: • Multivariate analyses and a two-piecewise linear regression model were used to evaluate the risk factors for AcomA aneurysm formation and the threshold effect of WSS on AcomA aneurysm formation. • WSS ranging between 7.8 and 12.3 dyne/cm
