Endovascular management of ruptured distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysms: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysm is a kind of rare intracranial aneurysm with controversial evidence in managements. The main purposes of this research are to study the safety and effectiveness of parent artery occlusion (PAO) compared with selective aneurysm coiling (SAC) as well as figure out factors that affect the outcomes.All characteristics of patients that diagnosed with ruptured distal PICA aneurysm and treated with endovascular management in our hospital from July 2009 to February 2016 were retrospectively collected. Details include complete occlusion rate, procedure-related complications and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 31 months (mean) follow-up.Total 36 patients finally met the criterions and were included in the present study. New imaging infarction was observed in 12 (33.33%) patients. And 10 of them showed no apparent neurological dysfunctions after 34 months (mean) follow-up; 1 remained coma status since the symptom onset; and 1 patient died. 27 (75%) patients got a mRS ≤ 2 at the discharge while 20 (86.96%) patients with 3-year follow-up after the operation. There is no significant difference between patients treated with SAC and PAO in both complications and functional recovery in 3-years follow-up period. Hunt&Hess classification (H&H), age, and hydrocephalus are risk factors for functional recovery at discharge.PAO is safe and efficient in the management of distal PICA aneurysms while complications and outcomes are similar with SAC. H&H, age, and hydrocephalus are predicting factors for the mRS at discharge. Further prospective study is still needed to confirm the results of present study.
