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

Objective: Accurate rupture risk stratification for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) presents clinical challenges. Aneurysm wall irregular pulsation is an imaging biomarker of aneurysm vulnerability. This study aims to develop a nomogram for predicting wall irregular pulsation and risk stratification in intracranial aneurysms. Methods: This was a consecutive cross-sectional observational study with prospective data collection for UIAs between 2017 and 2020. The irregular pulsation was defined as sequential morphological alterations observed in three or more consecutive phases by on four-dimensional CT angiography (4D-CTA). A generalized estimating equation (GEE) method identified independent predictors of the presence of wall irregular pulsation. A logistic regression-based predictive model was developed. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. Results: We included 202 patients with 262 unruptured aneurysms. Multivariable analysis revealed four independent predictors of the presence of wall irregular pulsation: aneurysm location at ACA/PCom/Posterior (OR: 2.17, 95% CI 1.21-3.88; Conclusion: This study presents a logistic regression-based model for predicting aneurysm wall irregular pulsation. The nomogram visually assesses individualized risks, demonstrating potential for future clinical implementation in bedside decision-making.
