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

objectivesWe aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of fast three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the detection of cerebral aneurysms.

methodsWe screened 1589 patients over a 3-year period, who underwent a magnetic resonance imaging for headache. Fast 3D TOF MRA images taken in addition to routine neuroimaging sequences, which were examined by two independent observers to assess cerebral aneurysms.

resultsSixty-nine aneurysms were detected in 63 patients. The locations of the aneurysms were as follows: Middle cerebral artery, 27.5% (

conclusionConsidering the mortality and morbidity of subarachnoid hemorrhages, 3D TOF MRA is a successful, non-invasive method for detecting cerebral aneurysms. Results of the present study have shown that adding 3D TOF MRA to the routine brain imaging protocol is a beneficial tool for diagnosis.
