Pipeline embolization of distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysms.

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
background and purposeFlow diversion is commonly used to treat intracranial aneurysms in various regions of the cerebral vasculature, but is only approved for use in the internal carotid arteries. Treatment of distal PICA aneurysms with PED is sometimes performed but has not been well studied. Here, we report our experience with flow diversion of distal PICA aneurysms with PED. MATERIALS AND
methodsClinical and angiographic data of eligible patients was retrospectively obtained and assessed for key demographic characteristics and clinical and angiographic outcomes. Principal outcomes included rates of aneurysm occlusion, ischemic or hemorrhagic complication, technical complication, and in-stent stenosis.
resultsThree female and 2 male patients underwent placement of PED in the PICA for treatment of 5 distal PICA aneurysms. Clinical and angiographic follow-up was obtained for all patients. Complete aneurysm occlusion was observed in 100% (5/5) of treated aneurysms at 6 month and longest angiographic follow-up. While there were no ischemic or device-related complications, delayed hemorrhagic complications occurred in 20% (1/5) of patients.
conclusionPipeline embolization of distal PICA aneurysms can be performed in select patients. Further study is necessary in larger cohorts to better define clinical scenarios in which flow diversion in the distal PICA should be considered.
