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

The coexistence of intracranial and extracranial aneurysms is an uncommon association and suggests an underlying systemic aneurysmal disorder that involves complex therapeutic challenges. We report a young patient with multiple intra- and extracranial aneurysms, including a giant, partially thrombosed cervical internal carotid artery aneurysm causing severe hemodynamic compromise and ischemic stroke. The cervical lesion was managed with surgical trapping and aneurysmectomy without cerebral revascularization, resulting in favorable short-term clinical and angiographic outcomes. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive vascular assessment, detailed angiographic and hemodynamic assessment, and individualized decision-making regarding extracranial-intracranial bypass. Careful patient selection and detailed hemodynamic assessment may support aneurysm exclusion without bypass in selected patients with adequate collateral circulation, although long-term surveillance remains essential.
