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

backgroundWhether hematoma expansion after aneurysmal rupture is always a sign of rerupture remains unclear. Hence, the present study aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors of hematoma expansion unrelated to aneurysmal rerupture after endovascular embolization for ruptured cerebral aneurysms.

methodsWe included patients who underwent endovascular embolization for ruptured cerebral aneurysms within 48 h after onset at our institution between January 2009 and February 2014. The medical records of 70 consecutive patients were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively.

resultsHematoma expansion unrelated to aneurysmal rerupture occurred in 7 (10%) of 70 patients. Interestingly, four of seven patients had distal anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysms. The interval from onset to aneurysm coiling was shorter in patients with hematoma expansion than in those without (

conclusionEarly embolization of ruptured ACA aneurysms might increase the risk of hematoma expansion unrelated to aneurysmal rerupture because the procedures were conducted under systemic anticoagulation. It would be better to refer the patient for direct clipping if the patient has a distal ACA aneurysm with parenchymal hematoma at interhemispheric fissure. Delayed coil embolization, which means around 12-18 h delayed, might be another option for ruptured distal ACA aneurysms to prevent hematoma expansion.
