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

Giant intracranial aneurysms are defined as those with diameters of 25 mm or more and represent about 5% of all intracranial aneurysms. These aneurysms typically manifest during the fifth to seventh decades of life. Due to their size, giant aneurysms are responsible for intracranial mass effect rather than hemorrhage. Clinical symptoms depend on aneurysm's location. Radiological features are not common for aneurysms of the internal cavernous carotid artery. Differential diagnosis includes pituitary adenoma, meningioma, craniopharyngioma, hamartoma, glioma, teratoma, and even granuloma. Here, the authors report a case of a 63-year-old female patient with a giant partial thrombosed aneurysm of the internal cavernous carotid artery mimicking a meningioma of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone who presented for visual defect, and raised intracranial pressure. The authors will proceed with a literature review investigating this entity as well its ability of mimicking meningioma.
