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

rationalePersistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PPHA) is often associated with intracranial anomalies such as aneurysms. Surgical treatment of aneurysms on the PPHA is challenging due to that the posterior circulation depends solely on PPHA. PATIENT CONCERNS: A case of an 83-year-old woman with a large aneurysm on PPHA presented with vertigo was reported. DIAGNOSIS: Three-dimensional angiogram revealed a wide-neck aneurysm on the PPHA.

interventionsThe aneurysm was successfully treated using a novel low-profile visualized intraluminal support stent-assisted coiling technique. OUTCOMES: No complications occurred during the procedure. The final angiogram confirmed the patency of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery and the parent artery and its distal branches. LESSONS: Our case suggests that stent-assisted coil embolization is safe and effective for the treatment of aneurysms on the PPHA.
