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

Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important clinical outcome parameter. Its analysis is particularly meaningful to patients with minor functional impairment. The main goal of this study was to assess long-term data of HRQOL and their variables for patients undergoing treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). Therefore, a cross-sectional study of HRQOL (SF-36 questionnaire) was conducted in patients treated for UIA using a telephone survey assessing numerous medical and sociodemographic variables. A total of 96 patients with a follow up longer than 36 months post-treatment were included. HRQOL results were compared with the German reference population. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed to detect variables with an impact on outcome. After a mean follow up of 57.75 ± 13.56 months, patients with treated UIAs showed a significant decrease in the mental health domains 'role emotional' and 'social functioning' and the 'mental health component score' (MHCS) compared with the age- and sex-matched reference population. Overall, 47% of the patients showed a clinically and psychosocially relevant decrease compared with the mean MHCS of the reference population. Multivariate analysis suggests that mainly the treatment modality (coiling
