Embolization of splenic artery aneurysms using coils and n‑butyl 2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) with a newly developed polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-coated microcatheter: A case series of 3 patients.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This retrospective case series evaluates an alternative embolization technique for splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) using a combination of coils and NBCA delivered through a Carry Leon NSX microcatheter, addressing the challenge of unpredictable NBCA behavior in high-risk aneurysms. Three female patients-a 55-year-old, a 60-year-old, and an 80-year-old-presented with SAAs that were either incidentally discovered or demonstrated significant growth over time, prompting intervention due to the potential risk of rupture. Each patient underwent successful embolization via a triple coaxial system that allowed precise coil placement and controlled NBCA injection, resulting in complete aneurysm occlusion with minimal complications such as mild splenic infarction or transient inflammatory responses. These cases demonstrate that the use of a PTFE-coated NSX microcatheter can enhance the safety and efficacy of NBCA injections, reduce the number of coils required, and simplify the embolization procedure, suggesting a promising advancement in the management of visceral arterial aneurysms.
