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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThe true posterior communicating artery (TPCoA) aneurysms are rare and endovascular treatment for such lesions is limited in literature.

methodsFrom January 2012 to March 2017, eight TPCoA aneurysms were treated endovascularly and included in our present study. The procedural complication and outcomes were assessed.

resultsSeven of eight aneurysms (87.5%) were ruptured. Stent-assisted coiling was used in one case that a stent was deployed via PCoA-ipsilateral P2 segment. The dual-microcatheter technique was used in one case. The remaining six cases were treated by coiling alone. One patient (12.5%) suffered perioperative complication, of which a coil herniated into parent vessel during the procedure without symptomatic stroke or other adverse event after the procedure. The initial embolization results showed complete occlusion in five cases and residual neck in three. Six patients (75%) had a mean of 15-month angiographic follow-up and two of them revealed recurrence (33.3%). Clinical follow-up was available in seven patients (87.5%) and all patients showed favorable clinical outcome with mRS score 0.

conclusionTPCoA aneurysms are rare and challenging lesions with high rupture rate in literatures. Endovascular treatment may be a feasible alternative for TPCoA aneurysms. Primary coiling, as well as adjunctive strategies, such as stent-assisted coiling or dual catheter techniques may be considered. Further study in a larger population is necessary.
