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: Microsurgical treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms is a complex task that generally requires anterior clinoid process (ACP) removal to obtain adequate surgical exposure. This procedure poses a considerable technical difficulty due to the association of the ACP to critical neurovascular structures. Furthermore, anatomical variations in the parasellar region, such as the caroticoclinoid foramen (CCF) or an interclinoid bridge (ICB), may impose additional challenges and increase surgical complications. The present study aims to briefly review some anatomic variations in the parasellar region and describe a step-by-step surgical technique for a hybrid anterior clinoidectomy based on the senior author's experience. Methods: We present two cases with bone variations on the parasellar region in patients with a paraclinoid aneurysm and another with a posterior communicating segment aneurysm treated by microsurgical clipping at our hospital. Results: We focused on safely dealing with these variations during surgery, without further complications, and with good postoperative results. Patients were discharged with no significant deficit. Postoperative control, computed tomography angiography showed complete exclusion of aneurysms. Conclusion: Although anatomical variations in the parasellar region can complicate surgical clipping of these aneurysms, it is essential to ensure the best possible surgical outcome to conduct thorough preoperative and radiological evaluations.
