Deciding the timing of aneurysm coiling and obstetric delivery in pregnant patients presenting with ruptured intracranial aneurysms: a case report and review.
Article in BJR case reports, 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
The optimal treatment strategy for intracranial aneurysms (IA) in pregnancy is unclear, particularly in the third trimester of pregnancy and during the intrapartum period. We discuss a case of a ruptured IA at 39 + 3 weeks of gestation, during prelabour and review literature focusing on the order of treatment and delivery. A 4 × 6 × 3 mm aneurysm arising from the left posterior communicating segment of the internal carotid artery was embolised with multiple detachable coils, followed by a caesarean section (CS) with good maternal and foetal outcomes. Our review of the literature identified 29 reported cases of ruptured intracranial aneurysms in pregnancy. After 22 weeks of gestation, mortality was higher amongst patients who delivered first (3/9) compared to those who were coiled first (1/11). Our case and the published literature support the approach of securing the aneurysm before delivery to improve maternal outcomes.
