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

purposeTo retrospectively assess the safety and efficacy of coil embolization for catheter-directed true common and proper hepatic artery aneurysm exclusion. MATERIALS AND

methodsNine consecutive patients (2005-2021) in two university centers presenting with true common and proper hepatic artery aneurysms (> 2 cm in diameter) were treated with 'frontdoor-backdoor' coil embolization. Patients presenting with a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm, mycotic aneurysm or patients with small (< 2 cm diameter) aneurysms and followed up by imaging were excluded. Technical and clinical success was defined as complete coil-exclusion of the aneurysm on completion angiography and absence of post-embolization adverse events, in particular mass effect or hemorrhage, respectively. Patient characteristics, technical and clinical success, liver function tests and follow-up results were assessed based on the patients' electronic medical records.

resultsTechnical and 30-day clinical success was achieved in all procedures (100%). No major procedural complications were reported. Liver function test values were available in 6/9 patients, showing transient elevation of bilirubin in one patient. No end organ ischemia was reported. The mean clinical follow-up period of the study patients was 72 months (12-168 months). Long-term stable occlusion of the hepatic aneurysms was achieved in 9/9 patients (100%). One patient showed late complication (3 years) with coil migration into a bulbar ulcer, without aneurysm recanalization, however with fatal outcome.

conclusionCoil embolization for the endovascular exclusion of true common and proper hepatic artery aneurysms is safe and effective.
