Endovascular Treatment for Thrombosed Giant Fusiform Vertebral Artery Aneurysm: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery, 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
Giant fusiform aneurysm of the vertebral artery is not common and is usually associated with thrombosis due to swirling blood flow, and manifests as mass effect on the medullary region with slow progression of neurological sign and symptoms. Trapping and ligation combined with bypass surgery, endovascular surgery, and proximal occlusion and flow diverter placement have been described; however, the optimal treatment is still debatable. A 35-year-old female presented to us with complaints of mild occipital headache, moderate pain over the right side of the nape region, numbness, and tingling sensation transferring to the right upper shoulder for 1 month. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cervical spine and brain revealed normal cervical spine. Brain MRI and digital subtraction angiography were done that revealed an almost completely thrombosed giant fusiform aneurysm of the V4 segment of the vertebral artery. Patient underwent endovascular therapy with complete coils packing. Postoperative status went uneventful. She was discharged on the 7th day of procedure. Complete occlusion of thrombosed giant fusiform V4 segment vertebral artery aneurysm by endovascular therapy with coils embolization is safe and effective.
