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 Purpose: Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging has been suggested as a marker of the unstable status of intracranial aneurysm (IA) and may predict IA rupture risk. However, the role of abnormal hemodynamics in unruptured IAs with AWE remains poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the association between abnormal hemodynamics and AWE in unruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. Methods: A total of 28 patients with 32 bifurcation aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery>3mm in size were retrospectively selected for this study. Vessel wall magnetic resonance images were reviewed, and the AWE pattern of each aneurysm was classified as no AWE, partial AWE, and circumferential AWE. Computational fluid dynamics were used to calculate the hemodynamic variables of each aneurysm. Univariate and multivariate analyses investigated the association between AWE and hemodynamic variables. Results: AWE was present in 13 aneurysms (40.6%), with 7 (21.9%) showing partial AWE and 6 (18.7%) showing circumferential AWE. Kruskal-Wallis H analysis revealed that hemodynamic variables including wall shear stress (WSS), oscillatory shear index, aneurysm pressure (AP), relative residence time, and low shear area (LSA) were significantly associated with AWE ( Conclusion: Low wall shear stress, low aneurysm pressure, and increased low shear area were associated with aneurysm wall enhancement on vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging in unruptured cerebral aneurysms. These abnormal hemodynamic parameters may induce inflammation and cause aneurysm wall enhancement. However, the association between these parameters and their underlying pathological mechanisms requires further investigation.
