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 reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized mainly by occipital and parietal lobe involvement, which can be reversible within a few days. Herein, we report a rare case of PRES that developed after craniotomy for an unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA). CASE SUMMARY: A 59-year-old man underwent clipping surgery for the treatment of UIA arising from the left middle cerebral artery. Clipping surgery was performed uneventfully, and he regained consciousness quickly immediately after the surgery. At the 4th hour after surgery, he developed a disorder of consciousness and aphasia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed cortical and subcortical T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in the parietal, occipital, and frontal lobes ipsilaterally, without restricted diffusion, consistent with unilateral PRES. With conservative treatment, his symptoms and radiological findings almost completely disappeared within weeks. In our case, the important causative factor of PRES was suspected to be a sudden increase in cerebral perfusion pressure associated with temporary M1 occlusion.

conclusionOur unique case highlights that, to our knowledge, this is the second report of PRES developing after craniotomy for the treatment of UIA. Surgeons must keep PRES in mind as one of the causes of perioperative neurological abnormality following clipping of an UIA.
