Steerable microcatheter for distal access of a giant cavernous carotid artery aneurysm during treatment with Pipeline Embolization Device: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Background: In the treatment of giant cerebral aneurysms with flow-diverting stents, access to the distal parent artery is critical but occasionally challenging. This article provides our experience with a novel steerable microcatheter in such a situation, as well as a review of the literature. Case Description: A 73-year-old woman presented with right ptosis and external ophthalmoplegia. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed a giant right cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm. Endovascular treatment was planned with flow diversion, but distal access was not possible using the standard technique. A 2.4-Fr steerable microcatheter, Leonis Mova Selective, was implemented, and by bending the catheter tip toward the distal parent artery, a guidewire could be guided distally. After the catheter exchange, two flow-diverting stents were deployed successfully. Conclusion: Steerable microcatheters may provide an option in treatment with flow-diverting stents for giant cerebral aneurysms where access to the distal parent artery is compromised.
