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

Infected intracranial aneurysms are a rare type of inflammatory vascular lesions that occur due to infection of intracranial arterial wall. Brain aneurysms of distal arterial branches are equally rare and frequently multiple, including those situated at the peripheral middle cerebral artery segments. Although both types represent a small percentage of all intracranial aneurysms, they may bring about high mortality in case of rupture. The management of such aneurysms includes conservative treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, and microsurgical or endovascular treatment, which is gaining more prominence for both asymptomatic and ruptured aneurysms. Herein, we present a case of a 61-year-old male patient with a history of cardiac infective disease and multiple bilateral aneurysms of infected distal branch middle cerebral arteries, discussing the efficacy of available endovascular treatment modalities and reviewing the literature. In conclusion, selective endovascular coiling is a preferable method in the current management of distal branch infected ruptured intracranial aneurysms, which may bring a favorable outcome.
