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

backgroundParaclinoid aneurysms can pose an operative challenge during clip reconstruction, given the complex surrounding anatomy and the aneurysmal tendency to maintain turgor despite standard approaches to proximal control. This report demonstrates the use of intraoperative retrograde arteriovenous shunting with the transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) system to assist in the safe clip reconstruction of an irregular paraclinoid aneurysm. OBSERVATIONS: A 33-year-old woman presented with perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage and was found to have an incidental 9-mm ophthalmic aneurysm. Coil embolization was not successful. During microsurgical clip reconstruction, the left common carotid artery was exposed to allow for proximal control as well as transcarotid arterial sheath placement. Flow reversal was instituted throughout the aneurysm dissection and clipping, with a visible softening of the aneurysm. Intraoperative angiography confirming successful clip reconstruction was performed utilizing the TCAR sheath. The case was complicated by the development of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea postoperatively, requiring surgical repair. The patient has since made a complete recovery. LESSONS: Transcarotid flow reversal utilizing the TCAR system has potential for use in the surgical treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms, as it may aid in softening the aneurysm for safer dissection and clip reconstruction, protect against aneurysm-associated emboli, and provide an avenue for intraoperative angiography. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24330.
