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

Background and Aims: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by ruptured vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms (VBDAs) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Although clazosentan is effective in preventing cerebral vasospasm after SAH due to saccular aneurysms, its efficacy and safety have not yet been established in patients with ruptured VBDAs. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of clazosentan in patients with SAH due to ruptured VBDAs. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients treated for SAH due to ruptured VBDAs at a single institution between January 2017 and March 2025. The patients were divided into the clazosentan ( Results: A total of 38 patients were included in the study. The severity of SAH did not differ significantly between the two groups (World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grades IV-V: 60.0% vs. 64.3%, Conclusion: Clazosentan use in patients with SAH due to VBDAs appeared to be feasible and generally well tolerated without apparent excess harm. Larger prospective studies with adequate sample size are warranted to clarify the effect on clinical outcomes.
