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: Ruptured intracranial infected aneurysms (IIAs) are relatively rare, but they portend high mortality. To the best of our knowledge, there is no Canadian case series on IIA, as well there is a relative paucity of international published experiences. Our purpose is to share the experience of a single Canadian tertiary center in managing ruptured IIA and to conduct a systematic review. Methods: We did a retrospective case review series of adult patients with ruptured IIA treated at our institution. Second, we conducted a systematic review of the literature on ruptured IIA between 2011 and 2021 inclusive. Results: At our institution, of a total eight cases with ruptured IIA, four were treated endovascularly and two by surgical bypass. For the systematic review, we included nine noncomparative studies with a total of 509 patients (318 males) and at least 437 ruptured IIA aneurysms. Favorable outcome was specified for 63.3% of patients ( Conclusion: This study highlights a single Canadian tertiary center experience in the management of IIA and compares it to the global trends of the past 10 years in a systematic review.
