Morphological Characteristics of Ruptured Brain Aneurysms: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Stroke (Hoboken, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: It is unclear what morphological features of brain aneurysms are better at predicting risk of rupture. We conducted a meta-analysis to analyze the best morphological determinants of rupture status. Methods: The Nested Knowledge platform was used to perform a search of articles reporting on aneurysm size, aspect ratio (AR), size ratio (SR), ellipticity index, nonsphericity index, and undulation index. The mean differences between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms were used to calculate effect sizes. Results: A total of 63 studies with 13 025 aneurysms were included: 6966 ruptured aneurysms and 6059 unruptured aneurysms. Ruptured aneurysms had a larger size ( Conclusions: Size is not significantly different between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms located in the anterior cerebral artery, anterior communicating artery, and basilar artery. SR is significantly different between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms in all locations. A mean AR of 1.5 and SR of 2.3 are the thresholds associated with ruptured aneurysm status.
