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

Background: Recurrent cerebral aneurysms have complex shapes and are often technically challenging to treat with a single microcatheter. This study evaluates the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients who received double-catheter coil embolization for recurrent cerebral aneurysms. Methods: Patients who underwent double-catheter coil embolization at our institution between April 2011 and March 2022 for recurrent aneurysms were included in the study. Baseline characteristics, course to recurrence, details of the procedures, and outcomes after endovascular treatment were retrospectively analyzed based on past medical records. Results: Eight patients with recurrent aneurysms were treated with the double-catheter technique. One patient had a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a rupture of a recurrent aneurysm and the others had radiological recurrence during follow-up. The initial treatment for the aneurysm was clipping in one case and coiling in seven cases. All the aneurysms were located at bifurcation sites. During retreatment, balloon remodeling technique was used in five cases. Angiographic features immediately after the treatment included complete occlusion in one case, neck remnant in three cases, and dome filling in four cases. There were no procedure-related severe complications, besides preexisting oculomotor nerve palsy due to the mass effect of the aneurysm worsened in one patient. The mean follow-up period after retreatment was 4.3 years. There was one case of recurrence after retreatment in which additional endovascular coiling was necessary. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the double-catheter technique could be a safe and useful treatment option for patients with recurrent aneurysms at bifurcation sites.
