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

introductionA multitude of approaches have been postulated for assessing the risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture. However, the amount of potential predictive factors is not applicable in clinical practice and they are rejected in favor of the more practical PHASES score. For the subgroup of multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIAs), the PHASES score might severely underestimate the rupture risk, as only the aneurysm with the largest diameter is considered for risk evaluation.

methodsIn this study, we investigated 38 patients harboring a total number of 87 MIAs with respect to their morphological and hemodynamical characteristics. For the determination of the best suited parameters regarding their predictive power for aneurysm rupture, we conducted three phases of statistical evaluation. The statistical analysis aimed to identify parameters that differ significantly between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms, show smallest possible correlations among each other and have a high impact on rupture risk prediction.

resultsSignificant differences between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms were found in 16 out of 49 parameters. The lowest correlation were found for gamma, aspect ratio (AR1), aneurysm maximal relative residence time (Aneurysm_RRT_max) and aneurysm mean relative residence time. The data-driven parameter selection yielded a significant correlation of only two parameters (AR1 and the Aneurysm_RRT_max) with rupture state (area under curve = 0.75).

conclusionA high number of established morphological and hemodynamical parameters seem to have no or only low effect on prediction of aneurysm rupture in patients with MIAs. For best possible rupture risk assessment of patients with MIAs, only the morphological parameter AR1 and the hemodynamical parameter Aneurysm_RRT_max need to be included in the prediction model.
