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

objectiveThoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) share overlapping genetic and pathophysiological mechanisms, yet the genetic interplay between these conditions remains insufficiently explored. This study aimed to identify common genetic factors underlying TAA and ICA.

methodsA comprehensive review of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and retrospective clinical studies was conducted using PubMed, Orbis, and Web of Science. Articles addressing the genetic etiologies of TAA and ICA were analyzed. Separate lists of causative genes were compiled, and commonalities were identified. A Venn diagram was constructed to illustrate genetic overlap and shared physiological pathways.

resultsWe identified 24 overlapping genes associated with TAA and ICA, including

conclusionsThis study highlights the significant genetic overlap between TAA and ICA, shedding light on shared molecular mechanisms. These findings underscore the importance of interdisciplinary awareness: neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neurointerventional radiologists should monitor ICA patients for potential TAA, while cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, and vascular interventionalists should consider ICA risks in TAA patients. Further research into these genetic pathways could enhance the understanding and management of both conditions.
