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

backgroundParaclinoid aneurysms represent a challenge for neurosurgeons due to the anatomical complexity of this region and the technical difficulties involved in accessing this location.

methodsIn this work, we describe the surgical technique used to manage paraclinoid aneurysms, as exemplified through a clinical case. The distal dural ring (DDR) is exposed after the anterior clinoid process is resected extradurally. Then, the DDR is cut around the dorsal part of the carotid artery, moving toward the dura covering the optic nerve (ON). After, the lateral and ventral part of the ring is cut until the artery is freed from the dural attachment. The space between the proximal and DDR is visible and can be used as a proximal vascular control site if needed.

conclusionMicrosurgical clipping of paraclinoid aneurysms through a pterional or a keyhole approach, combined with a systematic technique for opening the carotid rings, is an excellent strategy for exposing and clipping paraclinoid aneurysms, yielding favorable clinical and surgical outcomes.
