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

Aneurysms of the pineal region are rare and theoretically could arise from the medial posterior choroidal artery (MPChoA) or lateral posterior choroidal arteries (LPChoA). A 64-year-old lady with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) due to a ruptured MPChoA aneurysm was treated with microsurgical aneurysm excision via an occipital interhemispheric approach. This case demonstrates the importance of being mindful of rare aneurysm locations when initial vascular imaging in SAH appears normal.
