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

backgroundPosterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms are uncommon, and their management is challenging because of the complex angioarchitecture of the PICA and the frequently nonsaccular aneurysm presentation. Endovascular therapy may not be feasible.

methodsWe describe our technique of clip trapping with occipital artery (OA)-to-PICA bypass to treat a PICA aneurysm. Because the aneurysm affected the ipsilateral, dominant PICA, an OA-PICA bypass was chosen to ensure adequate flow and reduce risk to the contralateral PICA supply.

conclusionThe OA-PICA anastomosis is a safe and effective method to successfully achieve flow preservation with bypass reconstruction and aneurysm trapping.
