Clipping of Posterior Circulation Intracranial Aneurysms: Maintenance of a Necessary Skill in Low-Resource Settings.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The treatment paradigm for intracranial aneurysms has evolved with technological advancements, resulting in improved patient outcomes. In particular, the management of posterior circulation aneurysms has shifted to favor endovascular therapy (EVT). However, this modality is not always accessible in low-resource settings. In our country (Trinidad and Tobago), neuroendovascular services are not readily available. We report a case of a patient with a ruptured left posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysm (Fisher grade 4) who underwent a far-lateral craniotomy and clip ligation. It was done by a fellowship-trained vascular neurosurgeon in a public hospital and resulted in an excellent patient outcome. This highlights the need to maintain this surgical skill set in resource-poor countries, in spite of the increasing popularity of endovascular therapy.
