Microsurgical management of previously embolized intracranial aneurysms: A single center experience and literature review.

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
backgroundEndovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) provides less invasiveness and lower morbidity than microsurgical clipping, albeit with a long-term recurrence rate estimated at 20%. We present our single-center experience and a literature review concerning surgical clipping of recurrent previously coiled aneurysms.
methodsRetrospective analysis of nine (9) patients' data and final clinical/angiographic outcomes, who underwent surgical clipping of IAs in our center following initial endovascular treatment, over a 12-year period (2010-2022). Regarding the literature review, data were extracted from 48 studies including 969 patients with 976 aneurysms.
results9 patients (5 males - 4 females) were included in the study with a mean age of 49 years. Subarachnoid hemorrhage was the initial presentation in 78% of patients. Aneurysms' most common location was the middle cerebral artery bifurcation (5/9) followed by the anterior communicating artery (3/9) and the internal carotid artery bifurcation (1/9). Indications for surgery were coil loosening, coil compaction, sac regrowth, and residual neck. Procedure-related morbidity and mortality were zero whereas complete aneurysm occlusion was achieved after surgical clipping in all cases (100%). All patients had minimal symptoms or were asymptomatic (mRS 0-1) at the final follow-up.
conclusionsSurgical clipping seems a feasible and safe technique for selected cases of recurrent previously coiled intracranial aneurysms. A universally accepted recurrence classification system and a guideline template for the management of such cases are needed.
