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

ObjectivePosterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms are uncommon and may be challenging to treat, especially if they are very small saccular or dissecting pseudoaneurysms at proximal and mid-PICA locations. They are usually technically difficult to treat with conventional reconstructive endovascular methods. We present our experience with PICA aneurysms treated by a stand-alone small, low-profile stent with a moderate flow-diverting effect (low-profile visualized intraluminal support junior (LVIS Jr)) compared to conventional endovascular methods.MethodsSingle institution cases of treated unruptured PICA aneurysms from 2015 to May 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient characteristics, pre-and postoperative images, and last clinical and radiological outcomes were analyzed. Comparative statistical analysis was used.ResultsNine cases of unruptured PICA aneurysms treated with stand-alone LVIS Jr (group 1) and seven cases treated with other conventional methods (group 2) were identified. The mean age was 56 versus 61.43 years, sex was female in 7 versus 6 cases, and the left side was involved in 7 versus 4 cases in group 1 and group 2, respectively. All aneurysms were in the proximal PICA segment except for one case in the mid-PICA segment aneurysm in each group. There was a difference in aneurysm type in both groups (
