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

backgroundWe aimed to estimate the risk of rerupture after first-time aneurysmal clipping surgery, explore the possible related factors, and assess long-term physical functionality. We hypothesized that the modified Rankin scale (mRS) could serve as an effective substitute for Hunter and Hess scale.

methodsThis retrospective study included 171 patients with cerebral aneurysmal rupture who had completed aneurysmal clipping treatment and collected their demographic data and medical records. The outcome assessments include neuroimaging records, Hunter and Hess scale, and the mRS scale during hospitalization and follow-up after discharge. The mean length of follow-up was 4.28 years.

resultsAfter aneurysmal clipping treatment, 83 patients (48.5%) had subsequently ruptured aneurysms. The scores of the reruptured group on the Hunt and Hess scale and mRS were significantly higher than those of the non-reruptured group. Multiple Cox proportional-hazards regression also showed that postoperative mRS >2, smoking, and two or more aneurysms were potentially important risk factors leading to aneurysm rupture again [the corresponding hazard ratios (HRs) were 5.209, 2.109, and 2.775, respectively] in patients. In addition, the location of an aneurysm on the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) or the posterior communicating (Pcom) artery had a higher risk of rerupture (the corresponding HRs were 1.996 and 2.934, respectively).

conclusionsNearly half of the collected participants experienced the rerupture episode, who had undergone the second-time clipping surgery. Smoking and multiple aneurysms are potential risk factors for aneurysmal rerupture. Most aneurysms are located along the ICA, but aneurysms located at the ACA or Pcom site are most likely to rerupture. As compared with the Hunter and Hess scale, the mRS scale does not have inferior predicting power in following patients' long-term functionalities.
