Ruptured fungal mycotic internal carotid artery aneurysm successfully treated with stent-assisted coil embolization: A case report.

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: Ruptured intracranial fungal mycotic aneurysms have a high mortality rate. It has been reported that the number of opportunistic infections has increased. Here, we report the first case of a patient in which a ruptured fungal carotid artery aneurysm was successfully treated by stent-assisted coil embolization. Case Description: A 76-year-old male receiving dual antiplatelet therapy due to a recent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty presented with blurred vision of the right eye and diplopia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a fungal mass in the sphenoid sinus, and the patient was pathologically diagnosed with invasive aspergillosis. After receiving oral voriconazole for 4 weeks, he was admitted to the hospital with hemorrhagic shock from epistaxis. The right internal carotid artery angiography revealed a Conclusion: Stent-assisted coil embolization without parent artery occlusion might be a promising option for the urgent treatment of ruptured fungal mycotic aneurysms. Long-term administration of voriconazole might be continued for 12 months for such patients.
