Endovascular Treatment of Posterior Cerebral Artery Trunk Aneurysm: The Status Quo and Dilemma.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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 posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is an important artery that can be divided into four segments (P1-4): segments P1-2 are proximal segments, and segments P3-4 are distal segments. Various aneurysms can occur along the PCA trunk. True saccular aneurysms are rare, and most PCA trunk aneurysms are dissecting. Sometimes, the PCA trunk can give rise to flow-related aneurysms in association with high-flow arteriovenous shunt diseases or moyamoya disease and internal carotid artery occlusion. Some PCA trunk aneurysms require treatment, especially ruptured or large/giant aneurysms. Recently, endovascular treatment (EVT) has become the mainstream treatment for PCA trunk aneurysms, and it mainly involves reconstructive or deconstructive techniques. Traditional EVT includes selective coiling with/without stent or balloon assistance and parent artery occlusion (PAO). For proximal aneurysms, the PCA should be preserved. For distal aneurysms, PAO can be performed. However, during EVT, preservation of the PCA must naturally be the prime objective. Recently, flow-diverting stents have been used and are a revolutionary treatment for unruptured dissecting aneurysms of the PCA trunk. Despite the associated complications, EVT remains an effective method for treating PCA trunk aneurysms and can result in a good prognosis.
