Endovascular treatment of middle cerebral artery aneurysms. Overall perioperative results. Apropos of 113 cases.

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
summaryThe endovascular approach is described in 113 middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. The treatment failed in six cases with no adverse clinical consequences. Out of the 107 treated cases, it was possible to obtain a complete occlusion in 50 aneurysms (47%), whereas a residual aneurysm neck was observed in 54 cases (50%). Follow-up angiograms were performed in 60 cases, showing a 22% rate of further thrombosis of the aneurysm. Recanalization of the aneurysm was observed in 8% of cases, which required retreatment. The technique-related permanent morbidity rate was 9% while the mortality rate was 2%. A review of the surgical and endovascular literature is presented. The endovascular approach is particularly indicated when normal MCA branches do not arise from the aneurysm base. It must be meticulously planned in all other cases. Endovascular coil treatment of MCA aneurysms is feasible, with acceptable morbi-mortality rates.
