A Rare Giant Dissecting Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysm With Middle and Fetal-Type Posterior Cerebral Artery Origins: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Giant dissecting aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) >20 mm are rare and associated with risks of rupture, mass effect, and thromboembolism, particularly when branch vessels originate from the sac. A 46-year-old woman presented with headaches and blurred vision due to a giant dissecting aneurysm originating from the ophthalmic segment of the left internal carotid artery (ICA). Endovascular treatment using a flow-diverter stent (4.5×38 mm) was deployed from the left middle cerebral artery to the cavernous part of the ICA, with adjunctive balloon angioplasty for incomplete expansion due to vessel kinking. Immediate post-procedure angiography showed thrombosis with preserved branch perfusion. Symptoms resolved completely by one month, with dual antiplatelet therapy continued for six months and monotherapy for the next six months. This case highlights the efficacy of flow-diverter stents in complex anatomies, achieving rapid thrombosis and symptom relief.
