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

objectiveBTO is the procedure performed to assess the collateral circulation within the Willis circle in a giant ICA aneurysm. An ICA occlusion after BTO is very rare. We present a case of an internal carotid artery occlusion as a complication of BTO that required urgent revascularization surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old female with a history of transient ischemic attacks for one year was diagnosed with multiple aneurysms: a giant aneurysm of the left supra-clinoid ICA, two small ones on left MCA and right ophthalmic. A BTO was performed to assess collateral supply and determine whether bypass surgery should be necessary. During the procedure, the balloon was detached while insufflating, and the patient had a subsequent neurological decline consistent with an MCA syndrome. EC-IC bypass surgery was performed with an end-to-side anastomosis of STA-MCA by trapping the giant aneurysm and clipping the ipsilateral MCA aneurysm. The patient had a reversal of neurological symptoms and made an uneventful recovery. DISCUSSION: We discuss the epidemiology of giant ICA aneurysms, the indications for BTO, and its complication. Emergency intracranial and extracranial bypass surgery in case of acute ICA injury is also discussed. We also highlighted the attributable factors to treatment strategies under restrictive conditions in Vietnam.

conclusionsICA occlusion due to insufflated balloon detachment is an unreported complication in literature. Emergency bypass surgery is a potential treatment choice for this unusual iatrogenic complication.
