Application of the pressure cooker technique for transarterial embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations: Factors affecting obliteration and outcomes.

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
Objective: The typical pressure cooker technique (PCT) and several modifications with similar mechanisms have been introduced to enhance the embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of transarterial embolization of bAVMs with the PCT. Method: From January 2019 to December 2021, 125 consecutive patients with bAVM managed by transarterial embolization in the prospective database on cerebral vascular diseases of a single center were retrospectively reviewed. Patient data and lesion characteristics were collected. According to the treatment strategy, the patients were assigned to the PCT group (46 patients) and conventional embolization technique (CET) group (79 patients). Results: Baseline patient features were comparable between the two groups. After the first procedure, complete obliteration immediately was observed in 61 and 42% of patients in the PCT and CET groups, respectively. The rate was markedly elevated in the PCT group ( Conclusion: The PCT may yield a higher rate of immediate complete obliteration with transarterial embolization of bAVMs, without increasing the rate of procedure-related complications.
