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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveTo determine the risk factors for recurrence after endovascular embolization of posterior communicating artery aneurysms (PcomA).

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 163 patients harboring 172 PocmAs who were treated with endovascular embolization from January 2019 to December 2020. The patients were divided into recurrence and stable groups depending on outcome. Univariate and logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the potential risk factors of recurrence during follow-up.

resultsOf the total 163 patients harboring 172 aneurysms, 107 were treated with simple coil occlusion and 65 were treated with stent-assisted coil embolization. There were significant differences in aneurysm sizes and use of non-stent-assisted coil embolizations between the groups (P < 0.05). The incidence of saccular aneurysm and Raymond grade were significantly higher in the recurrent group than in the stable group (P < 0.01). After variable selection, Raymond grade, aneurysm size, saccular aneurysm and non-stent-assisted coil embolization were included in further analysis. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed significant associations with non-stent-assisted coil embolization (P = 0.007), packing density (P < 0.001) and Raymond grades II (P < 0.001) and III (P = 0.002).

conclusionNon-stent-assisted coil embolization, as well as packing density and Raymond grades II grade III are associated with recurrence after endovascular treatment of PcomA.
