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
introductionEndovascular coil embolization of posterior circulation aneurysms has advantages over a surgical approach. However, the application of coil embolization is sometimes limited in wide-necked posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms, which are incorporating the origin of the branch. Presented here is a series of patients who were subjected to stent-supported coil embolization of PICA aneurysms.
methodsFrom a prospective data repository, we retrieved records of seven consecutive patients with PICA aneurysms, all of whom were treated by stent-assisted coil embolization between January 2010 and November 2012. Outcomes were analyzed in terms of aneurysm morphology and clinical status.
resultsIn all seven instances, the stents were placed from proximal PICA to vertebral artery (VA). A retrograde approach, via contralateral VA, was performed in five patients, where the origin of PICA from VA assumed an acute angle. In the other two patients, where the angles were obtuse, the stenting was done antegrade, via ipsilateral VA. Out of five patients with retrograde approach, single puncture and a single guiding catheter sufficed in three patients, whereas the remaining two patients required dual puncture and two guiding catheters. Endovascular treatments, as performed, resulted in excellent outcomes for all seven patients, although an asymptomatic thrombus developed in one patient with a ruptured aneurysm.
conclusionFor coil embolization of PICA aneurysm requiring stent protection, either ipsilateral or contralateral VA access routes may be used, depending on the angle of PICA origin and the configuration of the aneurysm.
