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

backgroundAneurysm recurrence after coil embolization remains a challenging problem.

objectiveTo determine the histopathological features of recurrent aneurysm specimens and explore the mechanism of aneurysm recurrence.

methodsNine aneurysm specimens were collected from eight patients who underwent clipping for aneurysm recurrence within 2 years after embolization. All specimens were sectioned and embedded in resin, stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E), Masson stain, and immunohistochemical staining for smooth muscle actin (SMA) and CD68+ antibodies, and were examined under light microscopy.

resultsFive aneurysms were surgically clipped owing to post-embolic subarachnoid hemorrhage, while the other four aneurysms had dangerous recanalization detected on follow-up imaging. Five aneurysms had self-growth and four aneurysms had coil compactions. Gross observation showed that each recurrent aneurysm was wrapped by a thrombus and the aneurysm wall; some coils protruded from the pseudocapsule in some ruptured aneurysms. Microscopically, H&E staining showed that three types of thrombi (fresh thrombus, granulation tissue, and scar tissue) coexisted in one section. In addition, characteristic unstable and unorganized thrombi with empty spaces were found in the neck cavity. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the SMA stain was discontinued and incomplete, and CD68+ antibody and H&E staining revealed inflammatory infiltrate in the aneurysm wall.

conclusionThe coexistence of three types of thrombi is the main characteristic of recurrent aneurysms. The formation of stable thrombus may be one of the key points of aneurysm recurrence. Smooth muscle cell damage and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the aneurysm wall probably contribute to the recanalization.
