Massively calcified aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery: an unsuccessful clipping attempt followed by successful pCONus2-assisted coil occlusion.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
We report the unique case of a 67-year-old female patient with an incidentally discovered massively calcified aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery. After interdisciplinary discussion, we decided to attempt clipping the aneurysm because interventional therapy did not seem feasible and anchoring a stent would also have been difficult because of the morphology of the aneurysm. The clipping attempt was unsuccessful because of the aneurysm's massive calcification with strong adherence to the sphenoid planum. The aneurysm was then successfully occluded using pCONus 2-assisted coiling. We illustrate this and consecutive procedures, and we reviewed the literature on aneurysm calcification.
