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

backgroundAneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a life-threatening neurovascular emergency. Gender-related variations in aneurysm characteristics may influence clinical presentation, imaging findings, and management strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency distribution and gender-based differences in aneurysm characteristics among patients with aSAH using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography.

methodsThis cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, Sriram Chandra Bhanj Medical College and Hospital (SCBMCH), Cuttack, a tertiary care hospital in the eastern region of India. A total of 111 patients with MDCT angiography-confirmed aSAH were included. Aneurysm features such as size, shape, multiplicity, and location were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, and Z-test, with a p-value of <0.05 considered statistically significant.

resultsOf the 111 patients, 73 were female and 38 male (female-to-male ratio: 1.9:1). Female patients were significantly older than male patients (mean age: 56.11 versus 49.95 years; p = 0.020). Multiple aneurysms were more common in female patients (19.18%) than in male patients (5.3%; p = 0.0518). Aneurysms < 6 mm were more frequent in female patients (66.67%), while larger aneurysms (>10 mm) were more prevalent in male patients (20%; p = 0.0285). Fusiform aneurysms were significantly more common in male patients (15% versus 3.5%; p = 0.0273). Anterior circulation was involved in 92.22% of cases. Internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms predominated in female patients (48.27%), whereas anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysms were more common in male patients (42.5%; p = 0.035).

conclusionGender-based differences in aneurysm characteristics, including age at presentation, size, shape, and location, were evident in patients with aSAH. Awareness of these variations is essential for accurate diagnosis, individualized risk assessment, and development of tailored management strategies.
