Intercostal artery embolization and the risk of spinal cord ischemia: Importance of identifying the Adamkiewicz artery-A report of two cases.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Intercostal artery embolization is a useful and minimally invasive procedure for traumatic hemothorax. However, the presence of the Adamkiewicz artery (AKA), which may originate from the intercostal artery, represents a critical risk factor for spinal cord ischemia during intercostal artery embolization. Here, we report two cases of traumatic hemothorax caused by intercostal artery injury that were successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization. The AKA was angiographically identified during the procedure in Case 1, whereas it was not recognized in Case 2, as it was located at the edge of the irradiation field. Despite this, embolization was successfully performed without non-target embolization of the AKA, and hemostasis was achieved without neurological complications. The identification of the AKA is crucial because inadvertent embolization may lead to serious spinal cord ischemia. Our cases emphasize the importance of evaluating the AKA during intercostal artery embolization.
