A Case Report of Spontaneous Vaginal Delivery Under General Anesthesia in a Patient With a Large Cerebral Aneurysm.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cerebral aneurysms are rarely encountered in pregnancy. Their antepartum and intrapartum management remain clinically challenging, primarily due to concern regarding potential rupture. We present a case of a patient in preterm labor at risk for imminent delivery with a 10mm cerebral aneurysm. She was recommended for cesarean section (CS), yet delivered via spontaneous vaginal delivery in the operating room after induction of general anesthesia for the intended CS. Her aneurysm and neurologic function remained intact postpartum. Cerebral aneurysms <5mm are unlikely to undergo significant growth during pregnancy. The presence of a cerebral aneurysm is not automatically a contraindication to the Valsalva maneuver. The recommendation for which patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms should deliver by CS, operative vaginal delivery, or unassisted vaginal delivery (i.e., which patients should avoid Valsalva maneuver intrapartum), is complex and requires multidisciplinary discussion.
