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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze our experience with the patients who underwent surgical treatment of posterior communicating artery (PComA) aneurysms originating from fetal posterior cerebral artery (fPCA) and analyze the risk factors for the postoperative radiological infarction and outcome.

methodsFrom 2011 to 2020, we retrospectively reviewed 74 PComA aneurysms originating from fPCA in terms of the clinical and radiological features and obtained the follow-up data from the Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. The relationships between these features and follow-up data were assessed with the univariate and multivariate analysis.

resultsIn this series, 74 aneurysms were occurring at the origin of fPCAs. All the patients showed complete obliteration of their aneurysms. Full fPCA type tends to be a predictive factor for radiological infarction (univariate

conclusionsIn conclusion, we report a series of patients harboring aneurysms originating from the fPCA. Surgical clipping is a reliable strategy. Full fPCA type is related to postsurgical infarction. Postoperative radiological infarction, rupture, and hypertension tend to be the independent predictive factor for poor prognosis at 3 months after discharge.
