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: Coil compaction after aneurysm embolization is one of the major issues associated with aneurysm recurrence. On the presumption that pulsatile stress to the aneurysm is responsible for coil compaction, we developed an experimental model in vitro to visualize the mechanical stresses exerted by blood pressure and pulse and their relation to coil compaction. Methods: A closed-type non-circulation system was developed by installing a syringe that generated pressure at one end of a tube, along with a spherical aneurysm made of silicone and a pressure sensor in the bifurcated end. We installed a fixed-pressure model under a steady pressure of 300 mmHg while the pressure-fluctuation model simulated the pressure variations using a plunger (in a syringe) by using a motor that applied pulsatile stress in the range of 50 mmHg for a 10-ms cycle. We devised four types of aneurysms with different depths and the same coil length. After coil packing, the aneurysms were observed for 3 days (the observation period in the pressure-fluctuation model corresponded to approximately 300 days in real time). The distance from the datum point to the observable coil loops was determined as the initial position, and the temporal change in the distance from that position was measured. Results: In the fixed-pressure model, the average distance of coil movement was very small (less than ±0.1 mm). In the pressure-fluctuation model, the movement of coils was observed to be significant for the two longest depths (0.11 and 0.14 mm). The maximal dynamic change in coil movement was observed on the second day. The range of movement was observed to decrease thereafter. Conclusion: Our experimental study enabled the observation of coil movement within a short duration. It examined coil compaction by applying pulsed pressure to the coils at high speeds. Consequently, a shift of the coil loops inside the incompletely occluded aneurysms was detected on applying a pulsed pressure.
