Pial arteriovenous fistula following aneurysm clipping: a case report of a rare complication.

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
Craniotomy is a potential predisposing factor for iatrogenic pial arteriovenous fistula (PAVF), yet cases complicated by PAVF following aneurysm clipping are extremely rare. Given the high risk of hemorrhage associated with PAVF, timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial. This study investigates the clinical characteristics and treatment strategies through the analysis of two cases of PAVF occurring after aneurysm clipping. A systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines identified four previously reported cases, which together with the two current cases were analyzed for clinical presentation, management, and outcomes. In the first case, as the venous approach was inaccessible to the fistulous point, transarterial coil embolization was alternatively employed to occlude partial feeding arteries, thereby reducing blood flow and the risk of hemorrhage. The long-term efficacy of this approach requires further follow-up observation. The second patient achieved immediate fistula occlusion successfully via venous embolization. The systematic review and case analysis confirm that post-clipping PAVF is a rare complication most often discovered incidentally, with transvenous embolization and microsurgical disconnection being effective treatment options. This report aims to emphasize the importance of clinicians' vigilance regarding PAVF following aneurysm clipping and to highlight the significance of early diagnosis and intervention.
