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

Cerebral aneurysms are abnormal focal dilatations of arterial vessel walls with pathological vessel structure alterations. Sudden rupture can lead to a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is associated with a high mortality. Therefore, the origin of cerebral aneurysms as well as the progression to the point of rupture needs to be further investigated. Label-free multimodal multiphoton microscopy (MPM) was performed on resected human aneurysm domes and integrated three modalities: coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering, endogenous two-photon fluorescence and second harmonic generation. We showed that MPM is a completely label-free and real-time powerful tool to detect pathognomonic histopathological changes in aneurysms, e.g. thickening and thinning of vessel walls, intimal hyperplasia, intra-wall haemorrhage, calcification as well as atherosclerotic changes. In particular, the loss or fragmentation of elastin as well as fibromatous wall remodelling appeared very distinct. Remarkably, cholesterol and lipid deposits were clearly visible in the multiphoton images. MPM provides morphological and biochemical information that are crucial for understanding the mechanisms of aneurysm formation and progression.
