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 aneurysm coiling process presents a risk of thromboembolic complications, mostly in patients with ruptured aneurysms, given the fact that they cannot receive antiplatelet therapy. Management strategies include medical anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy, intra-arterial thrombolysis, and mechanical thrombectomy using direct aspiration first-pass technique or stent retrievers. We report our own experience of using an Excelsior SL-10 Microcatheter (Stryker, Fremont, California, USA) with an internal diameter of 0.0165", originally designed for coil delivery, for contact aspiration of a thrombotic occlusion of a distal anterior cerebral artery during coiling of a broad-based trilobar anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The clot was removed under continuous manual aspiration, and complete recanalization has been accomplished. Mechanical thrombectomy through microcatheter aspiration may be a safe and feasible treatment option for acute distal artery occlusions, especially in the case of tortuous distal vessels during embolization of cerebral aneurysms.
