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 purposeMiddle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms often have an unfavorable aneurysm geometry that might limit endovascular therapy. Our purpose was to analyze the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of coil embolization in a consecutive series of MCA aneurysms chosen for endovascular treatment. PATIENTS AND TECHNIQUES: Of 235 MCA aneurysms seen at our institution during the past 5 years, 36 patients harboring 38 MCA aneurysms were primarily selected for coil embolization: 18 patients had an acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), 16 of which were due to a ruptured MCA aneurysm. SAH was classified according to Hunt and Hess grade: I (5), II (7), III (5), IV (0), and V (1).

resultsComplete occlusion could be achieved in 33 of 38 aneurysms. In 5 aneurysms, coil embolization was not performed because of an unfavorable aneurysm geometry with a wide neck or incorporation of adjacent branches (3) or failed because of insecure coil placement (1) or severe vasospasm (1). Procedural complications included coil protrusion into the parent artery (1), and thromboembolic M2 occlusion (5), with recanalization in 4 of 5 cases. Of 8 aneurysms with initial subtotal occlusion, 3 progressed to total occlusion during follow-up. Three aneurysms had to be retreated, and no patient rebled. Glasgow Outcome Scale at 6 months for the patients with SAH (17/18) was good recovery (12), moderate disability (4), severe disability (0), persistent vegetative state (0), and death (1); outcomes for patients with an incidental aneurysm (17/18) were good recovery (16) and moderate disability (1).

conclusionEndovascular coil embolization can be performed safely and effectively in selected MCA aneurysms. Initial subtotal aneurysm occlusion might progress to total occlusion.
