Postcoiling syndrome including headache and fever after endovascular cerebral aneurysmal coil embolization: A narrative review.
Review in Brain circulation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Endovascular cerebral aneurysmal coil embolization is becoming more popular than direct aneurysmal neck clipping due to its noninferiority in long-term outcomes and being less invasive. Neuroradiologists often find postoperative symptoms such as headache and fever after unruptured aneurysmal coil embolization, however, they have not paid much attention because symptoms almost always resolve spontaneously within a few days. Since the concept of this syndrome has not been standardized, we named it postcoiling syndrome (PCS). In this short review, we reviewed the criteria, risk factors, mechanisms, significance, and treatment of PCS based on a few pieces of literature. Almost all literature has regarded that some kind of bioactive reaction might be involved in PCS. Preliminary data showed the possibility of inhibition of PCS by histamine-2 receptor antagonists. PCS also might have the potential of more predictive maker than previously reported risk factors for recurrence after aneurysm coil embolization. Further investigation is needed in the future, including the accumulation of cases, unification of concepts, and mid-to-long-term follow-up.
