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

Background: Trigeminal nerve palsy (TNP) in patients with intracranial aneurysms (IAs) results from the disease process or its treatment. We systematically reviewed the literature on trigeminal palsy in patients with IAs. Methods: PubMed, ScienceDirect and Web of Science were searched according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed according to preestablished guidelines. Results: Twenty studies were included, yielding 69 patients with TNP and IAs. The mean age was 56.9 years and females accounted for 76%. Among the total cases, a cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm was found in the vast majority (93%), followed by 7% of aneurysms in the basilar artery-superior cerebellar artery, posterior communicating artery, and anterior communicating artery. 96% of the aneurysms were classified as large to giant-sized. Out of the total number of cases, the majority (90%) exhibited trigeminal palsy at the time of their initial presentation. Only a small proportion ( Conclusion: Trigeminal nerve palsies are correlated with IAs, and this correlation depends mainly on the location and size of the aneurysms.
