Predictors of aneurysm shrinkage after flow diversion treatment for internal carotid artery aneurysms: quantitative volume analysis with MRI.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06541275 (Assessment of the Dynamic Reduction in Volume and Prolonged Shrinkage of Giant and Symptomatic Cerebral Aneurysms Following Combined Endovascular Interventions), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Background and purpose: Although aneurysm shrinkage often occurs after flow diversion treatment for intracranial aneurysms, no reports have addressed the factors associated with aneurysm shrinkage. Materials and methods: This retrospective single-center study was performed to examine patients with unruptured internal carotid artery aneurysms who were treated using flow diversion and followed up by imaging for at least 12 months. The study outcome was aneurysm shrinkage (volume reduction of ≥10%) 12 months after treatment. Aneurysm volume was quantitatively assessed using the MRIcroGL software. Patient and aneurysm characteristics were statistically analyzed. Results: This study involved 81 patients with 88 aneurysms. At the 6 months, 12 months, and last follow-ups, the proportion of aneurysms that had shrunk was 50, 64, and 65%, respectively. No adjunctive coiling (odds ratio, 56.7; 95% confidence interval, 7.03-457.21; Conclusion: The rate of aneurysm shrinkage after flow diversion increased during the first 12 months after treatment, but not thereafter. No adjunctive coiling and aneurysm occlusion were predictors of aneurysm shrinkage, respectively. If adjunctive coiling is required, a volume embolization rate of ≤15.5% may be suggested for aneurysm regression.
