Spontaneous thrombosis of an unruptured recurrent artery of Heubner aneurysm within a few months: illustrative case.

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
backgroundThe recurrent artery of Heubner (RAH) is a branch of the anterior cerebral artery that supplies blood flow to key deep cerebral structures. Aneurysms in the main trunk of the RAH are exceedingly rare, and previous reports have only confirmed cases after rupture. Here, the authors report on the rare course of an RAH aneurysm found in an unruptured state. OBSERVATIONS: This report presents a unique case of an unruptured RAH aneurysm in a 30-year-old woman who presented with persistent headache. Angiography revealed a 4.6-mm aneurysm originating from the right RAH. Endovascular parent artery occlusion was initially planned because of the patient's age and risk of rupture. However, repeat angiography 4 months later revealed spontaneous thrombosis of the aneurysm to 1.4 mm, leading to a shift toward conservative management. After that, MRI revealed thrombosis that resulted in asymptomatic cerebral infarctions within the RAH perfusion territory. LESSONS: This case highlights the potential for spontaneous thrombosis in RAH aneurysms. The awareness of spontaneous thrombosis as a possible outcome is critical for optimizing treatment approaches for this rare condition. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25295.
