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

backgroundSaccular aneurysms in the non-branching segment of the distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) are extremely rare. Here, we describe the first case of coil embolization using a simple, non-adjunctive technique for an aneurysm at this rare location. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 74-year-old man with an asymptomatic, unruptured aneurysm of the right DACA was followed up annually for 3 years by medical checkup. Endovascular treatment was proposed because of a slight angiographic change in the shape of the aneurysm in the past year. The aneurysm at the non-branching site of the right calloso-marginal artery was 2 mm distal to the origin, and measured 3 mm in height and 3.3 mm in width, with a neck measuring 1.7 mm wide; the calloso-marginal artery diameter was 1.6 mm. The aneurysm was successfully embolized with a simple technique using a Pre-Shaped S Microcatheter and two coils.

conclusionsThe simple, non-adjunctive technique for coil embolization of saccular side-wall type aneurysm in the non-branching segment of the DACA could be performed using the appropriate catheter and a softer coil.
