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

BackgroundDissecting pseudoaneurysms of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) are rare, high-risk lesions with outcomes heavily influenced by anatomical location. This study evaluates the relationship between PICA segmental anatomy, endovascular treatment strategy, and clinical outcomes.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 21 patients with dissecting PICA aneurysms treated endovascularly between 2013 and 2025. Aneurysms were anatomically classified by segment (P1-P5); P3 was further subdivided into P3A (proximal to the PICA loop) and P3B (distal to the loop). Primary outcome was discharge modified Rankin Scale (mRS ≤ 2; classified as favorable). Secondary outcomes included ischemic stroke and segment-specific treatment trends.ResultsOf 21 patients, 16 (76%) were female and 13 (62%) were White; mean age was 57.3 ± 15.5 years. Most aneurysms were small (<7 mm,
