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

Posterior circulation aneurysms have a higher tendency to rupture and become symptomatic in comparison to anterior circulation aneurysms. Current treatment modalities for aneurysms in these locations vary widely including microsurgical clipping, trapping with bypass, wrapping, and various endovascular methods such as coiling, balloon or stent-assisted coiling, flow diversion, and vessel sacrifice, among others.Overall, surgical versus endovascular treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms continue to be a controversial topic in cerebrovascular neurosurgery. At our center, multi-disciplinary assessments including surgeons capable of both endovascular and microsurgical treatments of these aneurysms are employed to guide the treatment strategies. As advancements in both fields are made, this will continue to be a topic for debate. Anatomy and individual patient's characteristics will dictate the correct approach and therefore proficiency in the microsurgical techniques required to treat these aneurysms will continue to be both relevant and important.
