Improved Flexible Mechanical Delivery and Detachment System for Embolization Coils: Design, Modeling, and Experimental Evaluation.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dense and safe packing of intracranial aneurysms with embolization microcoils is critically important to prevent recurrence. While the properties of the coils themselves are widely studied, the mechanical characteristics of the delivery and detachment systems also significantly affect implantation quality. This study presents a novel system combining a dual-core stainless steel microcable and an outer delivery spiral with a flexible looped hinge detachment. The design improves flexibility and catheter control in tortuous anatomy. Bench testing demonstrated reduced bending stiffness, greater angular mobility, and immediate clean detachment without residual components. The prototypes withstood loads far exceeding clinically acceptable limits. The proposed system may improve endovascular embolization outcomes and serve as a foundation for further development.
