Treatment of a giant terminal internal carotid artery aneurysm in a 10-year-old child by flow diversion: long-term outcome and lessons learned.
Article in BJR case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A 28-mm diameter and partially thrombosed intracranial aneurysm was found in a 10-year-old boy on an MRI for non-specific headaches. The large neck incorporated the left internal carotid artery (ICA) termination and proximal middle cerebral artery. Treatment was planned to prevent further growth and rupture. Because of the difficult anatomy, a braided stent was first placed across the aneurysm neck as a scaffold to allow for the placement of a flow-diverting stent after its endothelialisation. However, severe stent-induced endothelial hyperplasia was encountered when the flow diverter was inserted. This resulted in a transient ICA occlusion during the procedure before flow was restored by angioplasty. As a result, the patient suffered a mild transient dysphasia but permanent loss of vision in the left eye. All antiplatelet medications were stopped 1 year after the procedure without problem. The aneurysm has remained fully occluded in the 7 years since.
