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

introductionVery large and giant aneurysms are among the most challenging cerebrovascular pathologies in neurosurgery.

methodsThe aim of this paper is to review the current literature on the management of very large and giant aneurysms and to describe representative cases illustrating possible treatment strategies.

resultsIn view of the poor natural history, active management using multiprofessional individualized approaches is required to achieve aneurysm occlusion, relief of mass effect, and obliteration of the embolic source. Both reconstructive (clipping, coiling, stent-assisted coiling, flow diversion [FD]) and deconstructive techniques (parent artery occlusion [PAO], PAO in conjunction with bypass surgery, and strategies of flow modification) are available to achieve definitive treatment with acceptable morbidity.

conclusionsPatients harboring such lesions should be managed at high-volume cerebrovascular centers by multidisciplinary teams trained in all techniques of open and endovascular neurosurgery.
