Endovascular treatment of anterior inferior cerebellar artery trunk aneurysms.
Review in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThe anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) is a very slender and anatomically variable artery that gives off many important perforating arteries that feed the brainstem and nerve-related arteries that feed the inner ear and labyrinth. AICA trunk aneurysms are rare entities that are also difficult to manage. At present, endovascular treatment (EVT) is the preferred choice; however, the understanding of EVT for AICA trunk aneurysms is limited.
methodsIn this article, we present a literature review on EVT for AICA trunk aneurysms. To promote understanding, we would also provide some illustrative educational cases of our institute.
resultsAneurysms along the AICA trunk can occur alone (isolated AICA aneurysm) or secondary to cerebrovascular shunts (flow-related AICA aneurysm). According to their anatomical location, they can also be divided into proximal and distal types. At present, EVT is the mainstream treatment, mainly including selective coiling with parent artery preservation and parent artery occlusion. Both coils and liquid embolization materials can be used.
conclusionsFor AICA trunk aneurysms, EVT is a reasonable choice and should be based on the specific anatomical location, pathology, and collateral circulation. However, there is still controversy as to the specific type of treatment that should be chosen.
