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

Introduction: Female patient, age 50, allergic to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) presented to the emergency department of our institution with spontaneous and severe headache. Case Report: Emergent brain MSCT and CTA scan showed subarachnoid hemorrhage with aneurysm in the C7 segment of left internal carotid artery (ICA). Prasugrel monotherapy was started and she underwent endovascular aneurysm occlusio. Small, atypically shaped aneurysm was found at the origin of anterior choroidal artery (AChA). Flow diverter stent was placed in the left C7 segment. One single coil was deployed in the sac. She was discharged without any neurological sequelae with prasugrel monotherapy. Two years after the procedure, aneurysm was completely occluded with normal flow in left ICA and its branches. Discussion: Here, we describe case of blood-blister like aneurysm (BBA) at the origin of left AChA. There is still no consesus regarding optimal treatment strategy for BBAs. Our experience shows it is possible to treat BBA with flow diversion even in the acute setting and near origins of ICA branches. Flow diversion needs to be reinforced with aneurysm coiling in the case of ruptured aneurysm. Due to patient's ASA allergy, we opted for prasugrel monotherapy which proved to be both safe and effective antiplatelet therapy after flow diverter placement. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge this is first published case in which coiling with flow diversion was used to treat BBA at the branching point of supraclinoid ICA in a patient allergic to ASA.
