Endovascular treatment of intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm, a case series study with two years follow up on complications.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: This study is aimed to analyze the clinical outcomes of endovascular treatments for patients with intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms. Methods: Clinical data of 32 patients with vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms who underwent endovascular procedures in the Department of Neurosurgery of our University from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Nine cases were treated with endovascular occlusion; 23 cases received reconstructive treatment, including 20 cases of stent combined with coil embolization, and 3 cases of stent implantation. The angiography taken at 3-22 months after surgery was reviewed. Results: The endovascular treatments for all 32 cases were successful. Thirty-one cases had no postoperative complications during index hospital. Mid-term follow-up showed that: 27 cases (84%) had embolism; 5 cases (16%) had recurrence, of which 4 cases were treated again with endovascular procedures followed with no further complications and no recurrence, and 1 case received closely monitor but no reoperation. During an average follow-up of 10.5 months, except for one case that was self-discharged due to end-stage brainstem compression and respiratory failure, the rest of the patients were in stable conditions without bleeding or infarction. Conclusion: Endovascular treatment of intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms is safe and effective. Recurrent vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms can be treated with endovascular reoperations with satisfactory outcomes.
