Dolichoectasia of Anterior and Posterior Circulation With Thrombosed Saccular Aneurysm of Vertebral Artery Presenting as Obstructive Hydrocephalus: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is characterized by vascular elongation, widening, and tortuosity of cerebral vasculature. There are only a few reported cases of VBD as a cause of hydrocephalus. Here, we report a case in a 55-year-old male who presented with sudden vomiting for a day and worsening of headache for two weeks. He was diagnosed with CT imaging with angiographic findings: thrombosed saccular aneurysm of the vertebral artery along with dolichoectasia of the anterior and posterior circulation.
