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 and importance: Ruptured intracranial mycotic aneurysms are rare. There are no established guidelines for management. Limited case reports are available, with no randomized controlled trials. Case presentation: A 58-year-old male presented with disseminated Clinical discussion: The aneurysm was difficult to visualize under natural light despite the use of neuronavigation. ICGA provided a very detailed real-time assessment of cerebrovascular architecture and enabled accurate localization and successful resection of the mycotic aneurysm. Conclusion: ICGA is not commonly used in the surgical resection of intracranial mycotic aneurysms and should be considered if neuronavigation is inadequate for localization.
