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

Calcification of intracranial aneurysms is a well-known phenomenon. Whether microsurgical or endovascular techniques are used, calcifications may increase the difficulty of treatment. However, the implications of calcification on aneurysm biology and stability have received little attention. We review both investigational and clinical methods that are used to detect aneurysmal calcification. We also discuss the pathophysiology of aneurysm calcification, specifically the role that inflammation and smooth muscle cells play. We finally turn our attention to the clinical implications of aneurysm calcification including rupture risk and treatment considerations. Calcification may represent an important feature in the life cycle of an aneurysm and as imaging methods continue to improve, we may yet discover a biomarker for this process.
