Survival of a 2-month-old infant after clipping of ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Intracranial aneurysms (IA) are rare in the pediatric population but represent distinct characteristics from adult cases. Due to the limited literature, management is challenging as there are no clear treatment guidelines for such cases. We report a case of ruptured intracranial middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm in an infant treated by clipping with a current review of the literature. Case Description: A 2-month-old male with a history of atrial septal defect and a recent head injury was referred to the hospital due to imaging findings of subarachnoid hemorrhage in the left Sylvian cistern, extending over the left hemispheric sulci, and intraventricular hemorrhage caused by a ruptured left MCA aneurysm. Urgent aneurysmal clipping and external ventricular drain insertion were performed. Conclusion: This case demonstrated an overall positive outcome, with successful repair and increased survival in the patient despite the poor prognosis associated with mycotic IA, and supports microsurgical clipping as the preferred treatment approach for better outcomes. However, further studies are needed on a larger population.
