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

background and purposeAbout 20.1% of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) carriers are multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIAs) patients with higher rupture risk and worse prognosis. A prediction model may bring some potential benefits. This study attempted to develop and externally validate a dynamic nomogram to assess the rupture risk of each IA among patients with MIA.

methodWe retrospectively analyzed the data of 262 patients with 611 IAs admitted to the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital between November 2015 and November 2021. Multivariable logistic regression (MLR) was applied to select the risk factors and derive a nomogram model for the assessment of IA rupture risk in MIA patients. To externally validate the nomogram, data of 35 patients with 78 IAs were collected from another independent center between December 2009 and May 2021. The performance of the nomogram was assessed in terms of discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility.

resultSize, location, irregular shape, diabetes history, and neck width were independently associated with IA rupture. The nomogram showed a good discriminative ability for ruptured and unruptured IAs in the derivation cohort (AUC = 0.81; 95% CI, 0.774-0.847) and was successfully generalized in the external validation cohort (AUC = 0.744; 95% CI, 0.627-0.862). The nomogram was calibrated well, and the decision curve analysis showed that it would generate more net benefit in identifying IA rupture than the "treat all" or "treat none" strategies at the threshold probabilities ranging from 10 to 60% both in the derivation and external validation set. The web-based dynamic nomogram calculator was accessible on https://wfs666.shinyapps.io/onlinecalculator/.

conclusionExternal validation has shown that the model was the potential to assist clinical identification of dangerous aneurysms after longitudinal data evaluation. Size, neck width, and location are the primary risk factors for ruptured IAs.
