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

The rate of recanalization after coil embolization for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) is reported to occur around 11.3%-49%. This study aims to investigate the factors that influence the recanalization after coil embolization for UIAs in our institution. We retrospectively investigated 307 UIAs in 296 patients treated at our institution between April 2004 and December 2016. The stent-used cases were excluded. Cerebral angiography and 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF MRA) were used for evaluation of the postoperative occlusion status. Volume embolization ratio (VER), aneurysmal size, neck width, and aspect ratio (AR) were compared between the recanalized and non-recanalized groups. The mean follow-up period ranged from 6 to 172 months (mean: 79.0 ± 39.8 months). Recanalization was noted in 78 (25.4%) aneurysms, and 19 (6.2%) aneurysms required retreatment. There was no aneurysmal rupture during the follow-up period. Univariate analysis showed that the aneurysm size (p < 0.001), neck width (p < 0.001), AR (p = 0.003), and VER (p = 0.012) were associated with recanalization. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the AR (p =0.004) and VER (p =0.015) were significant predictors of recanalization. To summarize, a higher AR and a lower VER could lead to recanalization after coil embolization of UIAs. Careful follow-up is required for coiled aneurysms with these features.
