Persistent hypoglossal artery aneurysm: Case report and qualitative systematic review.

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
A persistent hypoglossal artery was first described in 1889 and is one of the more common anatomical variations arising from aberration in normal development. Endovascular coiling has been recognised as a robust treatment for acutely ruptured intracranial arterial aneurysms, although specific data regarding an aneurysm arising from a persistent hypoglossal artery is lacking due to the low incidence. Here we report both the oldest patient reported to be treated with a persistent hypoglossal artery-associated aneurysm and also explicitly report endovascular treatment of a persistent hypoglossal artery aneurysm arising at the posterior inferior cerebellar artery origin. Qualitative systematic review of the available medical literature demonstrates limited evidence regarding treatment of persistent hypoglossal artery-associated aneurysms with the majority being carried out via open surgery. Ruptured posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm arising from a persistent hypoglossal artery can be successfully and safely treated by endovascular therapy via the persistent hypoglossal artery. Randomised study of this situation is unlikely to be feasible; however, qualitative review of the literature reveals six such aneurysms that have been treated surgically, and this case appears to be the first via an endovascular means.
