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
Introduction: Metallic susceptibility artifacts limit the reliability of time-of-flight MR angiography (TOF-MRA) for evaluating aneurysm healing after stent-assisted coiling (SAC). This study investigated whether quantitative TOF-MRA signal measurements at the aneurysm neck, analyzed using SYNAPSE VINCENT software, correlate with the angiographic white-collar sign (WCS), a surrogate marker of neointimal formation. Methods: Eighty-three internal carotid artery aneurysms in 81 patients treated with the Neuroform Atlas stent between January 2019 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized according to the presence or absence of WCS on 1-year digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The TOF-MRA signal intensity ratio (TOF-SIR) was defined as the ratio of signal intensity at the stented ICA neck to that at the distal M1 segment. TOF-SIR changes over 12 months were compared between groups. The primary outcome was the association between TOF-SIR change and WCS positivity; the secondary outcome evaluated longitudinal TOF-SIR trajectories within each group. Results: Of the 83 aneurysms, 39 (47%) demonstrated WCS positivity at 1 year. Complete occlusion rates were higher in the WCS-positive group immediately after SAC (23% vs. 11%, Conclusion: A greater increase in TOF-SIR over 1 year was independently associated with WCS positivity, indicating that quantitative TOF-MRA using SYNAPSE VINCENT may serve as a robust surrogate marker of neointimal formation after SAC. This approach has the potential to reduce reliance on DSA and to function as a practical adjunct in long-term follow-up of aneurysm healing.
