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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the periprocedural and postprocedural outcomes of endovascular treatments for cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage using data from the Japan Registry of Neuroendovascular Therapy 4 (JR-NET4) (2015-2019).
methodsIn this retrospective multicenter study, procedures of endovascular treatment for cerebral vasospasms registered in JR-NET4 were analyzed. The procedure outcomes and complications for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and intra-arterial administration of vasodilators (IA-vasodilator) were compared. The factors associated with imaging and symptom improvement were assessed.
resultsAnalysis of 1549 procedures revealed that 83.5% of procedures were IA-vasodilator and 16.5% of procedures were PTA. Postprocedural imaging improvement was achieved in 97.0% of patients, and 50.1% of patients experienced symptomatic improvement. The overall complication rate was 1.6%. No significant differences were detected in overall complication rates between patients who underwent PTA and intra-arterial administration of vasodilators; however, hemorrhagic complications were significantly more frequent in patients who underwent PTA. Shorter intervals from symptom onset and the absence of periprocedural complications were associated with improved imaging and neurological outcomes. Local anesthesia and prior treatment with endovascular embolization for ruptured aneurysms were associated with enhanced neurological improvements.
conclusionEndovascular treatment for cerebral vasospasm is safe and effective. Factors such as early intervention and treatment under local anesthesia may contribute to neurological improvements. However, caution is warranted for PTA due to the slightly higher incidence of hemorrhagic complications.
