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.
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
Objective: To investigate the surgical techniques and their clinical effects for ruptured basilar artery apex and posterior cerebral aneurysms Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 14 patients with ruptured basilar artery apex and posterior cerebral aneurysms who underwent surgical clipping by the Dolenc approach from July 2017 to June 2020 in Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University and Lianyungang Hospital affiliated with Xuzhou Medical University. The modified Rankin scale (mRs) scores were used to evaluate the prognosis of patients. Results: All 14 cases of aneurysms were successfully clipped. Overall, 1, 2, and 1 cases of postoperative new-onset visual loss, oculomotor nerve palsy, and contralateral hemiplegia, respectively, were reported. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination of the aneurysm within 2 weeks after surgery revealed that the aneurysm was completely clipped without residue. The observations during the follow-up within 12-18 months after surgery were as follows: 1 case of vision loss returned to normal, 2 cases of oculomotor nerve palsy, 1 case of return to normal, 1 case of improved, 1 case of contralateral hemiplegia improved after rehabilitation treatment, and 1 case of hydrocephalus ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery was performed. Overall, 11, 2, and 1 case had mRs scores of 0, 1, and 2, respectively. No death was reported. Conclusion: For the small number of basilar apical and posterior cerebral aneurysms treated non-invasively, the Dolenc approach may offer advantages over other modalities.
