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

background and purposeThe biological significance of aneurysmal wall enhancement (AWE) on high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) and its relationship with peripheral inflammation in intracranial fusiform aneurysms (IFA) remain incompletely understood. This study aims to investigate the association between circumferential AWE (CAWE) and peripheral immunoinflammatory indices in IFA, and to compare these features in different subtypes of unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA).

methodsIn this retrospective study, 196 patients with UIA (38 fusiform, 158 saccular) were included. Peripheral blood samples collected at admission were used to calculate immunoinflammatory indices, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). AWE was assessed and categorized by blinded readers. Clinical characteristics and inflammatory markers were compared, and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify variables associated with CAWE in patients with IFA.

resultsPatients with CAWE in the IFA cohort showed differences in peripheral blood-derived immunoinflammatory indices, with higher monocyte counts and NLR but a lower LMR (all P < 0.05). NLR remained associated with CAWE in a multivariable model (OR: 4.78, 95% CI: 1.21-18.92, P = 0.026). Compared to patients with ISA, the IFA group had a significantly higher rate of CAWE (P = 0.010) and exhibited differences in peripheral inflammatory profiles, characterized by elevated NLR (P = 0.038) and SII (P = 0.035), and decreased LMR (P = 0.028).

conclusionIn this single-center retrospective study, CAWE in IFA was associated with differences in peripheral blood immunoinflammatory indices, including NLR. These findings should be interpreted as exploratory and require validation in larger prospective cohorts with longitudinal clinical follow-up.
