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

Spontaneous disappearance of aneurysms, undetectable by conventional angiography, has been reported. This case report presents a patient with ventricular hemorrhage secondary to a ruptured lateral posterior choroidal artery aneurysm, confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Without any intervention, follow-up DSA 11 months later showed an apparent "disappearance" of the aneurysm. However, high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging revealed that the aneurysm had not indeed disappeared but had thrombosed, leading to a negative DSA appearance. By directly visualizing the vessel wall and intraluminal structures, magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging provides a valuable tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of negative aneurysms on DSA, enabling early detection of intraluminal thrombus formation.
