Device selection and clinical outcomes of adjunctive techniques for ruptured intracranial aneurysms: Insights from the JR-NET4 nationwide registry.

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
purposeAdjunctive techniques are frequently required in endovascular treatment (EVT) for ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) with complex morphology. However, comprehensive nationwide data on technique selection and its relationship with outcomes remain limited. We aimed to clarify anatomical and clinical factors associated with technique selection and to evaluate short-term outcomes using a large nationwide registry.
methodsThe Japanese Registry of Neuroendovascular Therapy (JR-NET) 4 included over 4,000 RIAs treated between 2015 and 2019. After exclusions, 3,600 patients treated with balloon-assisted coil embolization (BAC), double-microcatheter coil embolization (DMC), or stent-assisted coil embolization (SAC) were analyzed. Multinomial logistic regression identified factors associated with treatment selection, and multivariable logistic regression evaluated predictors of favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale; mRS 0-2) and mortality at 30 days.
resultsWide-neck and large RIAs were associated with DMC and SAC, while bifurcation RIAs were more often treated with DMC. BAC remained the most frequently used technique. Thirty-day outcomes were primarily determined by World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade and aneurysm morphology, rather than treatment type. WFNS grade IV-V was linked to a markedly lower chance of favorable outcome (OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.07-0.14), whereas neither DMC nor SAC showed an independent effect compared with BAC.
conclusionsIn this nationwide registry, technique selection was chiefly determined by aneurysm morphology and location, while outcomes were influenced by patient severity and aneurysm complexity. These findings, from the largest nationwide registry of EVT for RIAs, provide real-world evidence to guide treatment planning.
