1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeSome of the detachable microcoils are associated with the prominent metallic artifact. We have applied Silent MRA to reduce the artifact. In this study, we present a retrospective study in which Silent MRA is used for cases showing prominent metallic artifact on conventional TOF-MRA due to a detachable bare platinum microcoil (Barricade coil). MATERIALS AND

methodsFifteen patients, who had undergone endosaccular embolization using Barricade coil and other detachable microcoils up to 3 days previously, were scanned with TOF-MRA and silent MRA at the same time. The treatment DSA and follow-up MRA images were graded by two experienced neuroradiologists, focusing on the visibility of residual aneurysm and parent arterial lumen.

resultsDSA images showed residual aneurysm (RA) in four, residual neck (RN) in six, and complete occlusion (CO) in five patients. TOF-MRA images showed RN in five, CO in four, mild defect (MD) in one, severe defect (SD) in three, and complete defect in two. In contrast, on Silent MRA, the grades were RA in two, RN in five, CO in five, and MD in three.

conclusionBarricade coils are associated with prominent metallic artifact on TOF-MRA. Silent MRA is useful for follow-up MRA after embolization using Barricade coils. The metallic artifacts were compared between TOF-MRA and Silent MRA in patients treated by using Barricade coils. Barricade coils are associated with more metallic artifact on TOF-MRA than Silent MRA. Silent MRA is useful for follow-up MRA after embolization using Barricade coils.
