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: Following clipping surgery for intracranial aneurysm, computed tomography angiography (CTA) is often used to confirm complete aneurysm obliteration. However, artifacts from the titanium clips usually degrade the images around them. The ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (UHR-CT) system recently became available in clinical practice. Here, we report a case in which CTA using the UHR-CT system successfully pointed out a small aneurysmal remnant after the clipping surgery, which was validated by digital subtraction angiography. Case Description: A patient underwent clipping surgery for an unruptured aneurysm using two titanium alloy clips. CTA using the UHR-CT system demonstrated a small remnant aneurysm. Digital subtraction angiography confirmed the minor remnant. The UHR-CTA images were comparable to three-dimensional reconstructed images from the rotational angiography. Conclusion: We propose that UHR-CTA is a reliable postoperative assessment method for intracranial clipping surgeries.
