Surgical Deconstruction of Recurrent Basilar Apex Aneurysms Refractory to Endovascular Treatment.
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
Treating aneurysms of the basilar apex that have recurred despite endovascular treatment presents a difficult clinical situation. Retreatment by endovascular means carries a high risk of requiring complicated endovascular constructs, incomplete results and recurrence, and worsening symptoms of mass effect, whereas surgical disconnection presents an opportunity for a safe, immediate, and durable resolution. We present two cases of microsurgical interruption of the basilar artery immediately below the apex as a treatment for these refractory aneurysms. The angiographic presence of a posterior communicating artery and the intraoperative identification of the perforator-free zone are described, highlighting this intervention as a safe and durable treatment strategy for recurrent aneurysms of the basilar apex.
