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

objectiveTo explore the clinical effect of the surgical clipping and endovascular embolization for senile patients with posterior communicating artery aneurysms (PComA) complicated with oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) and their neurological recovery.

methodsA total of 96 senile patients with PComA complicated with ONP admitted to our hospital from May 2018 to May 2019 were selected and assigned into the experimental group and the control group according to the randomization method, with 48 cases in each group. The patients in the control group underwent surgical clipping, whereas the patients in the experimental group received the endovascular embolization. Subsequently, their surgical therapeutic effect, postoperative blood chemistry parameters, the incidence of complications, the recovery of neurological function and prognosis were analyzed and compared.

resultsThe operation duration, bleeding volume, respiratory recovery time and the time to extubation were significantly in favor of the experimental group when compared with the control group (P < 0.001); Senile patients in the experimental group had markedly lower levels of blood chemistry parameters than the control group (P < 0.001); The neurological recovery in the experimental group was found to be remarkably better than that in the control group (P < 0.05); The experimental group showed a distinct decrease in the incidence of complications compared to the control group (P < 0.05); A significant difference in good prognosis was observed between the control group and the experimental group (P < 0.05).

conclusionEndovascular embolization is more effective in the treatment of senile PComA with ONP. It is superior to the traditional surgical clipping, and has a lower incidence of complications, thereby contributing to the better recovery of neurological function and prognosis.
