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: The increased surface pressure of the coil mass calculated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis has been reported to be associated with the recurrence of internal carotid aneurysms after coil embolization. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the pressure on the coil surface and the recurrence of anterior communicating aneurysms. Methods: Among patients with anterior communicating aneurysms who underwent coil embolization at a volume embolization rate of 20% or more without using a stent, only one proximal anterior communicating artery (A1) was visualized by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). A virtual post-coiling model was created by eliminating the aneurysm at the neck position from the blood vessel model based on three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) data before treatment, and the neck plane was defined as the virtual coil plane. Using CFD analysis, the pressure difference (PD) was calculated by subtracting the average pressure of A1 from the maximum pressure on the virtual coil surface and dividing by the dynamic pressure of A1 for normalization. PD was statistically compared between the recurrent group and the non-recurrent group. Results: Four of 10 patients with anterior communicating aneurysms exhibited recurrence. The PD was 2.54 ± 0.24 and 2.12 ± 0.26 in the recurrent and non-recurrent groups, respectively, and was significantly higher in the recurrent group (p=0.038). In the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.917, and with a cutoff value of 2.31, the sensitivity was 1.000 and the specificity was 0.833. Conclusion: PD was considered a predictor of recurrence after coil embolization in anterior communicating aneurysms with asymmetrical A1. Preoperative prediction of recurrence after cerebral aneurysm embolization may be possible using CFD analysis.
