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: Superficial temporal artery (STA) aneurysms are relatively rare diseases, and the treatment approach is based on factors such as the location of the aneurysm, curability, complications, and patient request. However, the detailed outcome of STA aneurysms treated with endovascular surgery remains unknown. Case Description: A 75-year-old woman found a pulsatile mass lesion at a preauricular region with gradual enlargement. Angiography showed a thrombosed aneurysm originating from STA. Endovascular trapping was selected because she rejected open surgery for cosmetic reasons. Intra-aneurysmal blood flow disappeared on postoperative angiography. However, the aneurysm had enlarged for 8 months after the initial embolization. A recurrent aneurysm was resected, and pathological examination revealed neovascularization within the thrombotic lesion, suggesting neovascularization and re-canalization. Conclusion: Endovascular trapping for thrombosed STA aneurysm might include recurrent risk, and direct resection should be considered as the first-line treatment.
