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

backgroundLarge aneurysms arising from a fetal-type posterior cerebral artery (PCA) configuration pose substantial technical challenges, especially when ruptured and involving critical perforating vessels. Endovascular treatment may be limited when the aneurysm is large and incorporates the fetal PCA outflow. OBSERVATIONS: A 36-year-old woman presented with a ruptured large right posterior communicating artery aneurysm associated with a fetal-type PCA causing subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, and a symptomatic third nerve palsy. Because of the aneurysm's size and morphology, microsurgical clip reconstruction with adjunctive suction decompression (Dallas technique) was performed. LESSONS: The Dallas technique can safely and effectively facilitate aneurysm collapse and clip application. This method of retrograde suction decompression can help preserve the fetal PCA and anterior choroidal artery. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE26661.
