Clinical outcome of endovascular coil embolization for cerebral aneurysms in Asian population in relation to risk factors: a 3-year retrospective analysis.

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
backgroundLong term results of endovascular coiling are yet scarce. This study reviews the impact of comorbidities on the success of endovascular coiling of both ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Endovascular treatment has become thetreatment of choice after the ISAT trials. Independent risk factors that influence recovery are age, sex, smoking, and hypertension.
methodsThis is a 3-year retrospective analysis, performed to assess the clinical and radiological outcome of patients with cerebral aneurysms treated with detachable coils in an Asian population with relation to comorbidities including smoking and hypertension with age and gender as mediators. From July 2015 to August 2018, a total of 297 consecutive patients (mean age: 45.5 years) with cerebral aneurysms both ruptured and unruptured who were treated at a single center with endovascular coiling procedures are included in the study. Clinical information and radiological outcomes were evaluated on regular follow-ups and telephonic interviews. A modified Rankin Scale was used to measure the clinical outcomes in patients.
resultsWe have found that smoking harmed clinical outcome, with smokers 35% less likely to recover, while hypertension played a smaller role with only 15%. It was found that while aneurysms are more prevalent in women than men, women not only have a higher chance of getting an aneurysm but also have poorer outcomes. Similarly, patients who were above the age of 40 had a lower chance of recovery compared to younger patients due to comorbidities irrespective of gender.
conclusionAsian sub-continent has different genetic markers that lead to poorer outcomes of aneurysms in women, while outcomes are similar in men and women in developed nations. Smoking does not play a major role in women's recovery. Men with comorbidity seemed to be at higher risk and age played a major role in their recovery.
