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

Aneurysms originating along the peripheral portion of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) are rare entities. As a result of the small diameter of the AICA, it is very challenging to preserve the parent artery during endovascular treatment for a peripheral AICA aneurysm. In this report, we present a rare case of aneurysm in the a2 segment of the right AICA. During surgery, the aneurysm was found to be a dissecting aneurysm. As the tissue of the aneurysm neck had a similar thickness to that of the adjacent normal vessel, interrupted suturing of the vessel was performed after partial removal and trimming of the aneurysm wall. The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery. No other neurological deficit was noted. Magnetic resonance imaging three days after surgery revealed no acute ischaemia in the brainstem and cerebellum. Catheter angiography nine months later showed no recurrence of the aneurysm or stenosis of the AICA. The a2 segment of the AICA runs tortuously along the subarachnoid space of the cerebellopontine angle, which permits higher vascular mobility. In selected cases, in situ suturing or re-anastomosis could be considered for a2 segment aneurysms.
