Surgical Clipping Versus Endovascular Coiling in the Management of Intracranial Aneurysms.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Intracranial aneurysms are pathological dilatations of intracranial arteries and prevail in around 3.2% of the general population. The worst outcome of an aneurysm is its rupture. Its prevention and management can be accomplished by two broad modalities: surgical clipping and endovascular coiling. This review has explored each of these approaches individually and has then directly compared them to provide a good understanding of their respective advantages and disadvantages over one another. Clipping is associated with a higher rate of occlusion of the aneurysm and lower rates of residual and recurrent aneurysms, whereas coiling is associated with lower morbidity and mortality and a better postoperative course. The risks and benefits of each of these procedures must be thoroughly examined in each case. This article has stressed the need to consider all contributing patient, procedure-related, surgeon-related, and hospital factors before arriving at a final decision to manage a specific case.
