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

Background and ObjectivesPosterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms are uncommon, occurring in 0.5% to 3% of all intracranial aneurysms. Due to the distinct anatomy and varying geometrical configuration at the PICA origin, endovascular treatment can be challenging. The contralateral vertebral artery approach to these aneurysms may provide a more advantageous route for endovascular treatment. We describe a series of eight cases of contralateral vertebral artery (VA) approach for stent-assisted coiling of PICA aneurysms.MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of all patients from 2013 in our center who were diagnosed with PICA aneurysm and treated with stent-assisted coiling using a contralateral VA approach. Our study was conducted under the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at our institution, and informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to the procedures. Patient characteristics, angiographic studies, and clinical course were reviewed
