Cerebral abscesses after endovascular coiling of a paraophthalmic aneurysm: Case report and review of the literature.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
backgroundIntracranial infections are a rare complication of therapeutic neuroendovascular procedures. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present a case of a 72-year-old female with multiple unilateral cerebral hemisphere abscesses after endovascular embolization of a right paraophthalmic aneurysm and also provide a comprehensive review of the literature on cerebral abscesses following neurovascular embolization.
conclusionInfection following coil embolization of cerebral aneurysm is rare. However, it is likely to increase in the setting of increased used of neuroendovascular techniques in the future. Therefore, we suggest that extreme care is taken to ensure proper asepsis during embolization, and a high index of suspicion is maintained in patients with predisposing characteristics (large hemorrhage, ischemia, recurrent endovascular procedures, right-to-left shunt, and concomitant infection). Given the fact that the majority of abscesses occurred in patients who have had ruptured aneurysms, we suggest consideration is given to prophylactic intraprocedural intravenous antibiotics use as seen with open aneurysm treatment.
