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

Intraprocedural coil migration during endovascular treatment for an aneurysm that might carry serious ischemic complications is well known. On the other hand, delayed coil migration after endovascular treatment for an aneurysm is very rare. A 77-year-old woman was incidentally diagnosed with unruptured aneurysm associated with distal azygos anterior cerebral artery (ACA). The aneurysm was located at the distal bifurcation of the azygos ACA and was wide necked (approximately 7 mm in diameter). Endovascular coil embolization was selected and the aneurysm was occluded successfully, but 29 days after endovascular therapy, follow-up computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography revealed distal coil migration in the peripheral portion of the ACA. In addition, CT on day 57 after therapy revealed the migrated coil had moved more distally. Fortunately, in the course of these events, the patient remained asymptomatic. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first case of delayed distal coil migration associated with relatively rare azygos ACA aneurysm, and also the first report confirming more distal coil movement over time. In the future, a large number of patients could develop this complication as more aneurysms are aggressively treated with endovascular treatment. Knowledge regarding the possibility of delayed coil migration is thus important.
