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

backgroundParent artery occlusion (PAO) with or without bypass surgery is a feasible treatment for large intracavernous carotid artery (ICCA) aneurysms. The ideal occlusion site (internal or common carotid artery [CCA]) and ischemic complications after PAO have received special attention since the description of the technique. Unfrequently, some patients can also develop unusual external carotid artery-internal carotid artery collateral pathways distal to the ligation site that can explain the failure to aneurysm size reduction. CASE DESCRIPTION: We describe a rare case of delayed refilling of a large ICCA aneurysm partially thrombosed which early recanalized after surgical ligation of the cervical CCA through an unusual collateral pathway.

conclusionBased on our experience, we recommend periodic long-term follow-up neuroimaging, especially in those cases where potential collateral branches have not been clearly identified in the preoperative studies.
