Endovascular embolization of post-tonsillectomy pseudoaneurysm in adults.

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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular embolization in the treatment of post-tonsillectomy pseudoaneurysms.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of four consecutive adults who experienced secondary post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) due to pseudoaneurysms. Hemoglobin loss was identified to access the blood loss of patients. All patients underwent endovascular embolization of the injured artery using superselective catheterization techniques.
resultsThe angiogram revealed pseudoaneurysms in the ascending palatine artery in two patients, the facial artery in one patient, and the lingual artery in the other patient. Two patients were treated with endovascular embolization using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue, one patient was treated with coils, and one received a combination of coils and NBCA glue for embolization. All procedures were successful, with no clinical complications or rehemorrhage reported.
conclusionEndovascular embolization is an effective, feasible, and safe treatment option for the patients with post-tonsillectomy pseudoaneurysm. NBCA glue can be an effective and appropriate embolic material, but attention must be paid to the critical techniques involved.
