Unruptured anterior Inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm following stereotactic irradiation for vestibular schwannoma: Case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The clinical features and therapeutic measures of vestibular schwannoma (VS) radiation-related aneurysm (RRA) have not been well described. We reported the first VS RRA case admitted for acute anterior inferior cerebella artery (AICA) ischemic symptoms. Literature was reviewed to present the research fruits about VS RRAs, and some therapeutic advices were given. Materials and methods: A 54-year-old woman who had undergone GKS 10 years previously for a right VS was admitted to our hospital in 2018 because of sudden onset of severe vertigo and vomiting, accompanied with unsteady gait. During tumor resection, a dissecting aneurysm arose from the main trunk of AICA was encountered accidently within the tumor. The aneurysm was successfully treated with direct clip ligation, sparing the parent vessel. Data about this case were combined with those of other 11 radiation-related AICA aneurysm cases retrieved from the current literature. The following parameters were evaluated: Age, Sex, Diagnostic method, Location of aneurysm, Age of radiotherapy (Years)/Latency, Rupture, x-ray dosage, Type of radiotherapy, History of surgical resection of VS, Aneurysm Type, Morphology, Number, Treatment, Operative complications, Sequela, Outcome. VS RRAs mainly occurred in women (75%) with a median age of 62.5 years and were mainly located on AICA. Ruptured aneurysms accounted for 75.0% of the total cases. This paper reported the first VS case admitted with acute AICA ischemic symptoms. Cases with sacciform-like, irregular and fusiform-shaped aneurysms accounted for 50.0%, 25.0% and 25.0% of the total, respectively. After surgical treatment, 75.0% patients recovered, except for 3 patients who developed new ischemic consequence. Conclusion: Patients should be informed of the risk of RRAs after receiving radiotherapy for VS. In these patients, RRAs should be suspected when subarachnoid hemorrhage or AICA ischemic symptoms occurred. Active intervention should be conducted considering the high instability and bleeding rate of VS RRAs.
