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

backgroundCraniotomy and surgical clipping is the standard modality of treatment in patients of cerebral aneurysms. However, the surgical clipping of aneurysm may pose serious difficulties in the case of a bilateral carotid artery occlusion. The endovascular treatment has shown promising results in this disease.

methodsA retrospective study of all patients of posterior circulation aneurysms in the background of carotid occlusive disease at our department was performed. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, radiological characteristics, and the treatment of this rare entity.

resultsFour patients were treated from January 2009 to October 2015. The mean age of our patients was 34 years with ages that ranged from 17 to 45 without any gender predominance. The mean period between onset of symptoms and diagnosis was 6 weeks. Angiographic localization of the disease was observed in all patients. All patients were treated by endovascular techniques. The postoperative course has been satisfactory with a complete neurological recovery in all patients.

conclusionsRupture of posterior circulation aneurysms in the setting of bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion is extremely rare. Treatment is exclusively endovascular intervention. The functional outcome of ruptured posterior circulation aneurysms in setting of bilateral carotid occlusive disease is particularly favorable with good neurological recovery.
