Stenting for a Ruptured Blood Blister-Like Aneurysm of the Basilar Artery: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs) usually occur on the supraclinoid portion of the internal carotid artery. There are a few reports of BBAs in other locations. We provide the case details of a ruptured BBA of the basilar artery (BA) that was treated with stenting, with a good outcome. The patient was a 74-year-old Japanese woman with a World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade I subarachnoid hemorrhage. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) performed on day 14 revealed a BBA with a maximum diameter of 1.5 mm and a wide neck on the posterior wall of the BA's tip. Single stenting was performed on day 20, and an additional stenting was performed on day 26 due to postoperative stent migration. At six months post-operation, DSA revealed that the aneurysm had disappeared, and the patient was recovering well. Ruptured BBAs of the BA are rare and difficult to treat due to high rates of rebleeding and the presence of significant perforating branches. BBAs located on the posterior wall, in particular, are at high risk of ischemic complications. If coil embolization within an aneurysm is difficult, stenting alone may also be an effective treatment.
