Prevalence of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Nepal.

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
introductionIntracranial aneurysms affect 3-8 percent of the world's population, with ruptured aneurysms being the most common cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The sensitivity of Computed Tomography Angiogram in diagnosing intracranial aneurysm is 97%. The aim of our study is to find out the prevalence of ruptured intracranial aneurysms among all the admitted cases encountered in our hospital.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was done at Upendra Devkota Memorial National Institute of Neurological and Allied Sciences from 2016 to 2018. Convenience sampling method was done. In order to detect the site and size of aneurysms, 16 slice Siemens Computed Tomography with Computed Tomography angiogram was used. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee at Upendra Devkota Memorial National Institute of Neurological and Allied Sciences. Based on demographic data and computed tomography angiography findings, various morphometric parameters along with demographic parameters were considered for the study.
resultsAmong 10,856 cases, prevalence of ruptured intracranial aneurysms were found in 42 (0.386%) [Confidence Interval= 0.395 to 0.377]. Among 42 cases, Middle Cerebral Artery aneurysm was present on 16 (39.02%) followed by Anterior Communicating Artery on 14 (34.14%), then Posterior Communicating Artery on 5 (12.19%). The largest neck and dome size were seen in basilar tip aneurysm with size of 11mm and 8mm respectively. The most common type was Fischer grade 4.
conclusionsThe prevalence of ruptured intracranial aneursyms were found to be higher as compared to the other international studies.
