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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of coil embolization using a 0.009 inches primary outer diameter coil as finishing coil (FC) to that of 0.01 inches.
methodsFrom February and August 2020, 131 aneurysms that performed coil embolization using FC with a second loop diameter of 1 mm, were reviewed retrospectively, conducting propensity score matching and logistic regression analysis. Angiographic results such as, occlusion grade, packing density, failure and event were compared between 0.009 inches coil of GALAXY G3™ MINI microcoil (n = 54) and 0.01 inches coils (n = 77).
resultsThere were no statistically significant differences between two groups, but more events occurred in the 0.009 group. (Odds ratio, 3.65; 95% CI, 1.06-12.55; P = 0.031) In the results of coil embolization, successful occlusion occlusion (complete occlusion and residual neck) was identified more in the 0.01 group. After propensity score matching, the variables in each group were similar, but the successful occlusion was higher in the 0.01 group as in the total population. Events tended to occur more frequently in the 0.009 inch group, and logistic regression analysis showed slightly higher events in the angled microcatheter. (48.3% versus 76.9%., P = 0.075), Also, the 0.009 inch FC is an independent risk factor. (Odds ratio, 3.84; 95% CI, 1.07-13.80; P = 0.039).
conclusionsUsing 0.01 inches coils as FC increased the packing density after the procedure, and showed more successful occlusion than using a 0.009 inches coil. The probability of unexpected events was observed more than three times in the 0.009 inch group.
