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

backgroundIntracranial blister-like microaneurysms are an extremely rare disease. Rupture of intracranial aneurysms can lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Patients with SAH may experience severe neurological symptoms, including severe headache, nausea, vomiting, transient or persistent loss of consciousness, limb weakness, and blurred vision. Ruptured aneurysms should be surgically treated as soon as possible. Intravascular electrocoagulation is becoming a promising treatment method for intracranial blister-like microaneurysms. The short-term follow-up results demonstrated that this method is safe and effective. This article presents a case of endovascular electrocoagulation for the treatment of a blister-like microaneurysm. CASE SUMMARY: This article reports the case of 71-year-old female patient with an intracranial aneurysm. The patient experienced a sudden headache with vomiting for 3 hours. Brain computed tomography (CT) scan showed a subarachnoid hemorrhage. She was diagnosed with rupture of an aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage. The aneurysm was located in the choroidal segment of the right internal carotid artery. The size of the aneurysm was 2.00 mm × 1.80 mm × 1.97 mm, and the neck of the aneurysm was less than 0.5 mm wide. We successfully treated this aneurysm with endovascular electrocoagulation, and the patient was safely returned to the ward and discharged after subsequent supportive treatment. CT angiography reexamination 3 months after surgery revealed no contrast agent extravasation in the original lesion, with a good prognosis.

conclusionEndovascular electrocoagulation is an effective and safe method for the treatment of intracranial blister-like microaneurysms.
