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

purposeWe aimed to evaluate the utility of and complications associated with the double microcatheter technique for the treatment of wide-necked visceral and renal artery aneurysms (VRAAs).

methodsNine patients (mean age, 58 years; age range, 42-69 years; 4 men, 5 women) with wide-necked VRAAs who underwent treatment with the double microcatheter technique from January 2016 to July 2018 were included in the study. For all patients, anatomical features were confirmed using cone-beam computed tomography (CT) with rotational angiography. The aneurysmal location, size, volume, neck-to-dome ratio, number of coils used, and coil packing density were investigated. Technical success, complications (coil migration and organ ischemia), changes in the complete blood count or serum creatine level, and recurrence were also evaluated.

resultsThree renal artery aneurysms and 6 splenic artery aneurysms were treated by the double microcatheter technique. The mean size of the aneurysms was 26.09±4.76 mm, mean volume was 6.19±3.69 cm3, and mean neck-to-dome ratio was 1.53±0.24. The number of coils used ranged from 7 to 16. The mean packing density was 11.32%±3.72%. Technical success was achieved in all 9 patients. Renal ischemia occurred in two patients with renal artery aneurysm, one of whom showed minimal scar formation on follow-up CT after infarction. No coil migrations or disease recurrences were observed.

conclusionThe double microcatheter technique for the treatment of wide-necked VRAAs appears to be relatively safe and useful. However, complex renal artery aneurysm should be carefully managed in order to prevent infarction.
