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

Background and PurposeLarge basilar trunk aneurysms (BTAs) have a poor natural history if left untreated and always pose a significant challenge to endovascular treatment. The present study aimed to analyze the complications after endovascular treatment of large BTAs.MethodsThis was a retrospective, observational, cohort study. Between January 2015 and September 2022, 9116 patients with intracranial aneurysms came to our institution for management, of which 34 patients with 34 large (≥10 mm) BTAs were treated with endovascular treatment. Postprocedural complications, clinical, and angiographic outcomes were evaluated.ResultsAll 34 patients (34 aneurysms) were successfully treated, of which 13 aneurysms were treated with flow diversion (FD), and 21 aneurysms were treated with stent-assisted coiling. Neurological complications occurred in 12 (35.3%) patients, with 7 (20.6%) deaths. Ischemic complications occurred in 10 (29.4%) patients, and 4 (11.8%) patients experienced hemorrhagic events. The incidences of favorable outcomes at discharge and last follow-up were 85.3% and 75.8%, respectively. The cumulative survival rates at 1 and 3 years were 86.5% and 71.4%, respectively. Unilateral vertebral artery sacrifice was associated with postprocedural complications (hazard ratio: 3.74, 95% confidence interval: 1.06-13.25,
