No differences in effectiveness and safety between pipeline embolization device and stent-assisted coiling for the treatment of communicating segment internal carotid artery aneurysms.

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
backgroundAneurysms arising from the communicating segment (C7) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are one of the most frequent locations of intracranial aneurysms. Stent-assisted coiling (SAC) and flow diversion therapies are both endovascular strategies used for the treatment of ICA aneurysms occurring at the C7 segment.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to compare both methods' angiographic and functional outcomes, and procedural complications. To our knowledge, this is the first study to compare both modalities for aneurysms at this location.
methodsA retrospective review was performed of our prospectively collected database from 2008 until 2017 for patients treated with SAC and from 2013 until 2017 for patients treated with pipeline embolization devices (PEDs).
resultsWe identified 35 patients for this cohort with 38 aneurysms; 17 treated with SAC and 21 with PED. Mean age was 59 years, and 30 patients were female (86%). Complete occlusion at last follow-up occurred in 70.6% of patients in the SAC group and in 81% in the PED group (
conclusionSAC and PED are two equally efficacious modalities for endovascular treatment of ICA aneurysms arising at the communicating segment of the ICA.
