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

Introduction: The study aimed to develop a novel predictive system to assess the clinical survival of patients with basilar artery aneurysms (BAAs) following endovascular embolization by analyzing aneurysm and peripheral vessel morphologies. Methods: Fifty-eight BAA patients who underwent endovascular embolization were retrospectively studied, with a median follow-up of 17.5 months. A total of nine deaths (15.5%) occurred during the follow-up period. Due to the limited number of outcome events, we adopted a conservative modeling strategy that involved using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-penalized Cox regression for variable selection, followed by multivariable Cox regression to construct the prognostic model. An online dynamic nomogram was developed to predict survival. Model discrimination was evaluated using the concordance index (C-index) and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Internal validation was performed using bootstrap resampling with calibration curves, and clinical utility was assessed using decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: LASSO-penalized Cox regression identified two independent prognostic factors-basilar artery (BA) diameter and aneurysm neck-which were subsequently confirmed by multivariable Cox regression (BA: HR = 2.12, 95% CI: 1.01-4.45, Conclusion: This morphology-based, online, dynamic nomogram serves as a practical tool for predicting survival in BAA patients after endovascular embolization. However, given the limited sample size and the number of events, the findings should be considered exploratory, and external validation in larger cohorts is warranted.
