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

Objective: Endovascular coil embolization for anterior communicating artery (ACoA) and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysms is associated with high total and near-total occlusion rates, but the complication rate is high. The development of newer endovascular technologies may improve the clinical outcomes. This study investigated the status of endovascular treatment of ACoA and ACA aneurysms by comparing our results with past reports. Methods: Between January 2006 and December 2018, we investigated 50 patients who were followed for 12 months or longer to clarify the outcomes of coil embolization. The outcomes of embolization were evaluated using time-of-flight MRA. The safety was evaluated based on procedure-related complications that affected clinical outcomes. Results: Initial assessments demonstrated complete obliteration in 84% (42 of 50 patients) and a residual neck in 14% (7 of 50 patients). Procedure-related complications developed in 12% (6 of 50 patients). The procedure-related morbidity rate was 2% (1 of 50 patients) and there was no procedure-related death. Recanalization was noted in 14% (7 of 50 patients, median follow-up period, 57 months). The recanalized aneurysms were significantly smaller than the stable aneurysms in maximum size (4.3 mm vs. 5.8 mm; p = 0.017) and height (3.7 mm vs. 4.3 mm; p = 0.035). Conclusion: We demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of endovascular coil embolization for ACoA and ACA aneurysms. The small size of aneurysms may be related to recanalization.
