Complex networks approach to study comorbidities in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The role of complex network analysis in patients with diagnosis of unruptured intracranial aneurysm is unexplored. The objective of this study is to assess the applicability of this methodology in aneurysm patients. We retrospectively analyze comprehensive unbiased local digital data of a large number of patients treated for any reason between January 2004 and July 2019. We apply an age-cohort approach to a total of 628,831 patients and construct the diagnostic history of each patient-and include the information how old the patient was when diagnosed for the first time with each diagnosis coded according to International Classification of Diseases. For each cohort of age within a 10 year interval and for each gender, we construct a statistically validated comorbidity network and focused on crucial comorbidity links that the aneurysm code has to other disease codes within the whole network. For all cohorts of different age and gender, the analysis shows that 267 diagnose codes have nearest neighbour statistically validated links to unruptured aneurysm ICD code. Among the 267 comorbidities, 204 (76%) were found in patients aged from 40 to 69-years old. Patterns of connectivity with aneurysms were found for smoking, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dyslipidemia, and mood disorders. A few uncommon connections are also detected in cohorts of female patients. Our study explored the applicability of network analysis and statistical validation in aneurysm observational study.
