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

Acute ischaemic stroke remains a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. Treatments include systemic fibrinolysis and more recently, endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The presence of incidental intracranial aneurysms may increase procedural risk during EVT, particularly given their potential higher prevalence in patients with stroke due to shared risk factors such as smoking and hypertension.We present the case of an elderly woman who experienced rupture of an unrecognised intracranial aneurysm during EVT. This case underscores the importance of meticulous preprocedural imaging review, awareness of high-risk anatomical locations and cautious selection of EVT techniques. We also provide a brief review of the literature regarding the incidence, mechanisms and management of intraprocedural aneurysm rupture.
