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 exhibit a markedly lower rupture risk compared to intracranial aneurysms (IAs) located in other regions. We aimed to identify the hemodynamic and morphological factors underlying this reduced rupture propensity.

methodsWe analyzed data from 538 unruptured IAs (179 paraclinoid) in the Chinese Intracranial Aneurysm Project (CIAP). Hemodynamic parameters were analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and morphological features were quantified using computer-assisted semiautomated measurement (CASAM). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified differences between paraclinoid and IAs in other locations.

resultsParaclinoid aneurysms were independently associated with younger age (OR = 1.031, P = 0.024), female sex (OR = 0.474, P = 0.011), and less frequent use of lipid-lowering medications (OR = 3.156, P < 0.001). Hemodynamically, they exhibited lower combined hemodynamic parameter (CHP; OR = 1.055, P = 0.011), normalized pressure (NP; OR = 1.469, P < 0.001), and low shear area (LSA) ratio (OR = 1.065, P < 0.001). Morphologically, they had smaller maximum diameter (OR = 1.203, P < 0.001), lower non-sphericity index (NSI; OR = 1.099, P = 0.002), larger parent artery diameter (OR = 0.157, P < 0.001), and less frequent bifurcation involvement (OR = 9.361, P < 0.001).

conclusionsParaclinoid aneurysms exhibit lower NP, LSA, and CHP, along with smaller maximum diameter, lower NSI, and a sidewall configuration. Collectively, these features are associated with a stable hemodynamic and morphological environment that underlies their lower rupture risk. Future prospective studies with a large cohort are needed to confirm these findings.
