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

backgroundReversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is an increasingly recognized condition characterized by thunderclap headache with or without other neurological deficits and diffuse vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries. Altered cerebrovascular tone may produce hemorrhage or stroke.

methodsA retrospective review of patients with RCVS at our institution (2000-2023) yielded one case of pseudoaneurysm secondary to RCVS.

resultsDiagnostic cerebral angiogram demonstrated diffuse multifocal segmental narrowing consistent with RCVS and a left M4 pseudoaneurysm in proximity to the cortical hemorrhage. The pseudoaneurysm was treated with branch vessel sacrifice using nBCA glue in a 1 : 3 ratio with ethiodized oil. After securing the source of hemorrhage, the patient received an intra-arterial infusion of Verapamil.

conclusionThis unique presentation of pseudoaneurysm secondary to RCVS in this patient highlights the impact of hemodynamic alteration as a possible source of bleeding and demonstrates a potential management strategy. Endovascular management with nBCA glue embolization successfully treated this lesion.
