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

The characteristics of cerebral aneurysms in Japan differ from other countries in the higher incidence of unruptured cerebral aneurysm detected by brain check-up screening, higher rupture rate of unruptured cerebral aneurysm, higher incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage, and superior outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage based on meta-analysis. Head shape, genetic features, environmental factors, demographics, and medical system in Japan are also different from other countries. Unruptured cerebral aneurysms are 2.8 times more likely to rupture in Japanese than western aneurysms, resulting in the highest incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage in the world. The exact and specific mechanisms of de novo, growth, and rupture of cerebral aneurysms have not been elucidated. Investigations will contribute to the understanding of cerebral aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage worldwide. Some features of cerebral aneurysm in Japan are discussed for possible research guidance in the elucidation of the predominance of subarachnoid hemorrhage in Japan.
