Endovascular treatment of peripheral aneurysms of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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 purposePeripheral aneurysms of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) are rare, and pre-existing literature concerning their endovascular treatment is limited. The purpose of this study was to assess the etiology and clinical characteristics of peripheral PICA aneurysms and to evaluate the angiographic and clinical results of the patients who underwent endovascular treatment for a peripheral PICA aneurysm in a single center. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwelve consecutive patients with 12 peripheral PICA aneurysms (10 ruptured) included in an internal data base were retrospectively reviewed. Posttreatment and follow-up angiograms were analyzed, and the clinical outcome was recorded.
resultsThe etiology was dissection in 7 (58%) and unknown in 5 cases (42%). Three dissecting aneurysms reruptured before endovascular treatment, and another 3 demonstrated angiographic progress. Four aneurysms were treated by endosaccular coiling, 6 (all dissecting) by parent artery occlusion, and in 2 cases endovascular treatment failed. Angiographic outcome was complete aneurysm and/or parent artery occlusion in 9 cases and neck remnant in 1 case. One aneurysm needed retreatment at follow-up. One lethal procedural complication occurred, and transient ischemic symptoms appeared in 2 patients. The clinical outcome was good in 7 patients, whereas 3 patients, all poor clinical grade, died (1 for unrelated reasons). No rebleedings have occurred during the follow-up.
conclusionIn this series, most peripheral PICA aneurysms were secondary to arterial dissection. They were unstable with a high risk of rebleeding and a high mortality if not treated without delay. Endovascular treatment was effective in preventing rehemorrhage.
