Fig. 2

(A) Paired boxplots comparing the size [mm] of the largest intracranial aneurysm (unruptured) with the ruptured smaller intracranial counterpart aneurysm (rSICA) on the left side (group rSICA), and on the right side the size of the largest intracranial aneurysm (ruptured, rLIA) with the size of the largest unruptured counterpart aneurysm (group rLIA). In both groups, the size differences between unruptured and ruptured IA were significant (p < 0.05), with mean sizes of 4.6 mm (ruptured) vs. 7.9 mm (unruptured) for the rSICA group and 8.0 mm (ruptured) vs. 3.5 mm (unruptured) for the rLIA group. (B) Pyramid plot showing the size difference between the ruptured intracranial aneurysm (IA) and its largest unruptured counterpart on the y-axis. The x-axis displays the relative proportion [%] of patients, subdivided into those in whom the largest IA ruptured (rLIA, grey, left side) and those in whom a smaller intracranial counterpart aneurysm ruptured (rSICA, black, right side).
