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

objectiveTo investigate the association between use of aspirin or statins and aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on 3T magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (MR-VWI) in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs).

methodsFor this cross-sectional study, we obtained individual patient data from three prospective UIA follow-up registries in which patients underwent 3.0T MR-VWI. Regular medication use was defined as aspirin ≥100 mg at least three times per week for ≥6 months, and statins at ≥20 mg daily for ≥6 months. AWE was classified as no AWE (no visible enhancement), focal AWE (enhancement limited to part of the aneurysm wall), or circumferential AWE (enhancement involving the entire wall). Multivariable ordinal logistic regression was used to assess the association between medication use and AWE in the full cohort. To isolate the effect of each drug, we conducted two separate propensity score matching analyses (PSM): statin users were excluded from the aspirin analysis, and aspirin users from the statin analysis. Logistic regression analyses were repeated within each matched group.

resultsWe included 1351 patients with 1416 UIAs, of whom 141 (10.4%) used aspirin and 145 (10.7%) used statin. In the full cohort, multivariable ordinal logistic regression showed that aspirin use was associated with a lower likelihood of AWE (OR=0.51; 95%CI, 0.35-0.74), whereas statin use was not significantly associated with AWE (OR=1.44; 95% CI, 0.98-2.12). PSM based on age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and aneurysm size yielded 83 matched pairs in the aspirin cohort and 97 in the statin cohort. In the matched cohorts, aspirin use remained inversely associated with AWE (OR=0.47; 95% CI, 0.26-0.85), while statin use remained unassociated (OR=1.49; 95% CI, 0.88-2.50).

conclusionIn this cross-sectional analysis, aspirin use was independently associated with reduced AWE in patients with UIAs, while statin use was not. However, the cross-sectional design precludes causal inference regarding a direct anti-inflammatory effect on the aneurysm wall.
