Long-term 3T MR angiography follow-up after therapeutic occlusion of the internal carotid artery to detect possible de novo aneurysm formation.
Trial report in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 purposeThe purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of de novo aneurysm formation, the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and the growth of existing untreated aneurysms in 52 patients after therapeutic carotid artery balloon occlusion for carotid aneurysms. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween January 1996 and August 2004, 52 patients were treated with carotid artery balloon occlusion for carotid aneurysms. In June 2005, all patients, their next of kin, or family physicians were contacted and questioned concerning episodes of headache or hospital admissions that could be attributed to SAH. In addition, MR imaging and MR angiography (MRA) at 3T were performed in 26 of 44 surviving patients after a mean follow-up period of 50.2 months (median, 43.5 months; range, 14-107 months). MR imaging and MRA studies were compared with the digital subtraction angiograms at the time of carotid artery occlusion.
resultsDuring clinical follow-up of 52 patients at a mean of 50.3 months (median, 42.5 months; range, 0-107 months), no episodes of SAH were reported (0%; 97.5% confidence interval [CI], 0-8.2%). In the 26 patients with follow-up MR imaging, no de novo aneurysms were detected (0%; 97.5 CI, 0-13.2%). Five existing untreated small aneurysms in 5 patients had not enlarged after a mean follow-up of 40 months.
conclusionIn this study, therapeutic carotid artery occlusion was not associated with development of new aneurysms or enlargement of existing untreated aneurysms with time.
