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

backgroundThe clinical significance of wall enhancement on vessel wall imaging (VWI) in arteriovenous malformation (AVM)-associated flow-related aneurysms (FRAs) remains unclear. OBSERVATIONS: A healthy adolescent presented with intraventricular hemorrhage and acute hydrocephalus caused by rupture of a left parietal AVM. VWI revealed an FRA protruding into the lateral ventricle with strong wall enhancement and interval growth, suggesting it as the rupture site. Transarterial embolization was performed on day 12, and follow-up VWI the next day showed complete disappearance of wall enhancement. Serial MRA studies demonstrated progressive regression and eventual disappearance of the aneurysm. LESSONS: This case uniquely demonstrated rapid postoperative disappearance of aneurysmal wall enhancement and morphological regression on serial VWI. VWI may serve as a valuable tool not only for identifying rupture sites but also for monitoring temporal changes of AVM-associated aneurysms. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25951.
