Advances in Microsurgical Clipping for Intracranial Aneurysms: A Narrative Review of Intraoperative Technologies and Clinical Outcomes.
Review in Asian journal of neurosurgery, 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
Intracranial aneurysms carry a life-threatening risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage, and the comparative roles of microsurgical clipping and endovascular coiling continue to evolve alongside rapid technological advancement. This narrative review synthesizes contemporary evidence on microsurgical clipping for cerebral aneurysms, evaluating intraoperative adjunctive technologies, location-specific surgical strategies, clinical outcomes, and emerging future directions. A structured literature search was conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2025. Following systematic deduplication and eligibility screening, 55 studies were included in a thematic narrative synthesis. Microsurgical clipping achieves complete aneurysm occlusion in 95 to 99% of cases, with durable long-term results and low retreatment rates. Intraoperative adjuncts, particularly indocyanine green videoangiography and robotic-assisted platforms, have demonstrably reduced ischemic complications. Endovascular coiling offers comparable procedural safety for small-necked aneurysms and facilitates faster short-term recovery; however, recanalization affects a significant proportion of large or wide-necked lesions. Treatment selection is primarily determined by aneurysm morphology, anatomical location, patient comorbidities, and institutional expertise rather than rigid algorithmic criteria. Augmented reality navigation and artificial intelligence-assisted clip positioning represent the most promising emerging technologies for surgical precision and resident training. Microsurgical clipping remains the definitive treatment for intracranial aneurysms requiring long-term occlusion security. Optimal management must integrate individual aneurysm architecture and patient physiology rather than rely on a single-modality treatment algorithm.
