Technical Feasibility of the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for Clipping an Ophthalmic Artery Aneurysm With an Origin Lateral to the Optic Nerve: 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
Ophthalmic artery aneurysms (OAAs) present a challenge for microsurgical clip ligation given their close proximity to critical structures. Endovascular management of OAAs is usually the preferred treatment option; however, the risk of recurrence remains a concern. OAAs have previously been clipped via an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). To our knowledge, this is the first report exploring the technical feasibility of EEA for clipping an OAA with an origin lateral to the optic nerve and reviewing the literature on all cerebral aneurysms (CAs) clipped via an EEA. This is a case report of a 36-year-old female with an unruptured left OAA measuring 7 × 7 mm with a 4 mm neck lateral to the optic nerve. She also had a right 2 × 3 mm OAA. Given her young age and bilateral OAAs, we opted for clip ligation of the left OAA to avoid placement of bilateral flow-diverter stents. After extensive discussion with the patient, she underwent successful clip ligation of the left OAA via an expanded EEA approach. In well-selected cases, EEA provides a safe and direct corridor for clipping OAAs with an origin lateral to the optic nerve.
