A Case Report of a Giant Basilar Artery Aneurysm.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Intracranial aneurysms, characterized by the localized dilation of cerebral arteries, pose a substantial risk of rupture, leading to severe consequences. Basilar artery aneurysms, in particular, present unique challenges due to their location and potential impact on vital brainstem structures. Advanced diagnostic imaging has improved the chances of early identification of the condition, enabling timely intervention. We discuss the case of a 54-year-old female with controlled hypertension, who presented with persistent severe headaches and neurological symptoms. Diagnostic investigations revealed a large saccular basilar artery aneurysm measuring 4.7 cm. The aneurysm exerted pressure on the brainstem. After comprehensive discussions, the patient underwent successful flow-diverter stent placement, which led to the gradual resolution of symptoms. The multidisciplinary team closely monitored the patient in the neurointensive care unit. Managing giant basilar artery aneurysms poses significant challenges due to the potentially life-threatening complications associated with it. The success in treating the presented case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving neurosurgery, interventional radiology, and critical care in managing these patients.
