Hemodynamic nature of black-blood enhancement in long-term coiled cerebral aneurysms.

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
purposeVessel wall imaging (VWI) with black-blood (BB) technique can demonstrate aneurysmal enhancement preluding to growth/rupture in treatment-naive cerebral aneurysms. Interestingly, recent works showed that BB enhancement may also occur in endovascularly treated aneurysms, though its meaning is controversial. Hypothesizing a flow-related mechanism of BB enhancement, we explored its relationship with incomplete occlusion status and coil packing density at DSA.
methodsWe analyzed the subjects undergoing 3T MRI between January 2017 and October 2020 for a previous aneurysmal coiling. All the MRI studies included pre- and post-contrast 3D BB sequences. The presence of intra-aneurysmal pre-contrast BB signal was assessed. BB enhancement (when present) was classified as follows: (1) enhancement at the neck, (2) intrasaccular/intra-coil enhancement, and (3) peripheral enhancement. Coil packing density and aneurysmal occlusion status (according to the modified Raymond-Roy classification, MRRC) were determined on post-treatment DSA and compared with BB findings using generalized linear mixed-effect model and ANOVA. Significant p values were <0.05.
resultsForty-eight aneurysms from 44 patients were eligible for analysis. Pre-contrast BB signal was observed in 50% of the aneurysms and showed a relationship with baseline aneurysmal size. BB enhancement was detectable in 31 aneurysms (65%), being significantly associated with incomplete aneurysmal occlusion and reduced coil packing density at DSA.
conclusionBB enhancement of coiled aneurysms is related with increasing degrees of post-coiling aneurysmal remnants and with loose coil packing density at DSA. This supports a hemodynamic interpretation of BB enhancement in long-term coiled aneurysms.
