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: Image evaluation after stent-assisted coil embolization (SAC) for a cerebral aneurysm is difficult with conventional MRA or CTA because of metal artifacts. Pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA)-MRA is a noninvasive imaging examination that can reduce metal artifacts. This study aimed to examine whether PETRA-MRA can be used as a follow-up imaging after SAC. Methods: Twelve patients (eight women and four men; mean age, 66.9 ± 13.2 years) underwent SAC for unruptured aneurysms and were retrospectively evaluated using time-of-flight (TOF)- and PETRA-MRA data from the same follow-up session. Two neurosurgeons independently compared the aneurysm occlusion status and flow visualization score in the stented parent artery (4-point scale, where 4 points represented excellent visualization) between TOF- and PETRA-MRA images. If DSA was performed within 3 months before or after PETRA-MRA, the aneurysm assessment was compared between MRA and DSA. The interobserver agreement for each MRA was evaluated. Results: Nine of the 12 patients underwent DSA within 3 months before and after TOF- and PETRA-MRA. The aneurysm occlusion status on DSA was more consistent with PETRA-MRA (eight of nine cases) than with TOF-MRA (one of nine cases; Conclusion: PETRA-MRA is a noninvasive examination that can be used to evaluate the occlusion status of aneurysms after SAC and visualize the stented parent artery. PETRA-MRA is useful for repeated follow-up examinations after SAC.
