Brain abscess as a rare complication of endovascular coiling for cerebral aneurysm: A case report 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
Background: Brain abscess following coil embolization of aneurysms is rare, with only few cases described in the literature. Herein, we report this specific case and review the existing literature on this rare infectious complication associated with the endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Case Description: A 51-year-old patient developed a brain abscess 3 months after endovascular embolization of a giant internal carotid artery aneurysm. The patient experienced rapid clinical deterioration, requiring emergency surgical intervention for abscess drainage and decompressive craniectomy. Cultures of the abscess revealed the presence of Conclusion: Perianeurysmal brain abscess in patients undergoing aneurysm coil embolization is a rare but potentially life-threatening. Treatment generally follows the protocol applied to cerebral abscesses in other conditions, involving surgical drainage and intravenous antibiotic therapy. However, before proceeding with drainage, it is crucial to confirm the absence of residual aneurysm or recanalization of a previously treated aneurysm to avoid hemorrhage risks.
