Open surgical repair of a loop-forming extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm: a case report and literature review.
Article in Jornal vascular brasileiro, 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
Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECCA) are rare vascular lesions that may be asymptomatic or present with compression-related symptoms, depending on their size and location. Etiologies include trauma, congenital anomalies, inflammation, atherosclerosis, or prior interventions. Major complications involve cranial nerve compression, rupture, and cerebral thromboembolism. Diagnostic and therapeutic management can be challenging, with treatment options including conservative follow-up, endovascular intervention, or open surgery. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman admitted with visual disturbances and a palpable mass on the left side of her neck. Radiological imaging revealed a 2 cm aneurysm with loop formation in the left internal carotid artery. The aneurysm was treated with open surgical aneurysmectomy and end-to-end anastomosis without grafting. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Open surgical repair remains a safe and effective treatment, particularly in anatomically complex cases in which endovascular techniques are not feasible due to arterial tortuosity.
