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

A 79-year-old woman presented at our hospital with sudden headache and vomiting. Computed tomography revealed diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. Although digital subtraction angiography (DSA) performed on admission and on the following day revealed no vascular abnormalities, DSA on Day 22 revealed microaneurysmal changes in the dorsal basilar artery. However, the aneurysmal changes gradually became smaller during follow-up, and DSA on Day 73 revealed complete disappearance. A 53-year-old man also presented to our hospital with sudden headache and vomiting. Computed tomography revealed perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage. DSA on Days 9 and 16 revealed microaneurysmal changes in the dorsal basilar artery. Conservative treatment was continued, and DSA on Day 42 revealed spontaneous disappearance of the lesion. It has been reported that basilar artery perforating aneurysms cause angiogram-negative subarachnoid hemorrhage, which disappears spontaneously. The fact that lesions previously reported as basilar artery perforating aneurysms may include cases of acute dissection of the main trunk or perforating branches of the basilar artery implies that surgical or endovascular treatment may worsen the condition. Therefore, conservative treatment may be an important option.
