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

backgroundAneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is an emergency that can lead to a high mortality rate and many severe complications. It is critical to make a rapid radiological evaluation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) to determine the appropriate surgical treatment.

aimTo assess the reliability of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in assessing different features of ruptured intracranial aneurysm and its impact on patient management.

methodsThe final cohort of this study consisted of 146 patients with RIAs (75 male and 71 female) who underwent cerebral CTA. Their age ranged from 25 to 80, and the mean age ± SD was 57 ± 8.95 years. Two readers were asked to assess different features related to the aneurysm and perianeurysmal environment. Inter-observer agreement was measured using kappa statistics. Imaging data extracted from non-contrast computed tomography and CTA were considered to categorize the study population into two groups according to the recommended therapeutic approach.

resultsThe inter-observer agreement of both reviewers was excellent for the detection of aneurysms (K = 0.95,

conclusionCTA is a reproducible promising diagnostic imaging modality for detecting and characterizing cerebral aneurysms.
