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

A previously well, 14-month-old girl presented with acute decreased level of consciousness. There was no history of trauma, systemic upset or significant family history. Blood pressure was within normal range and no focal neurological deficit was elicited on examination. Neuroimaging revealed a subarachnoid haemorrhage secondary to a basilar tip aneurysm. Patient underwent endovascular embolisation with good clinical outcome. Follow-up MRI revealed anterior circulation vasospasm, and although clinically asymptomatic, she was treated with a calcium channel antagonist. She was later discharged home with no neurological deficit. Follow-up MRI 3 months following presentation suggested recurrent formation of the aneurysmal sac. The patient then underwent elective endovascular repair 2 months later and was discharged home on antiplatelet therapy with planned close outpatient clinical and radiological surveillance.
