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 purposeEndovascular embolization is a well-established treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, but concern about its long-term stability and its ability to prevent rehemorrhage are still present. We evaluated the long-term clinical and angiographic follow-up of patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms treated with coiling, focusing on rehemorrhage and changes in aneurysm morphologic features. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 377 patients with ruptured aneurysms that were treated with endovascular approaches at our institution between 1994 and 2008 were reviewed. Clinical and angiographic data were analyzed from a prospectively collected data base.

resultsThere were 377 patients with 391 ruptured aneurysms treated for 14 years. Good outcome (Glasgow Outcome Score [GOS], 5) was achieved in 74% of patients, moderate disability or poor outcome in 18%, and 8.8% died. Permanent morbidity or mortality from procedural complications occurred in 2.9%. Complete follow-up was available for 85% of surviving patients, with mean follow-up of 22.3 months. Re-treatment was required in 11% (31 patients). Eight (2.1%) patients had rebleeding, 6 (1.6%) in the hospital within 30 days of treatment, 5 in the first 48 hours. Follow-up imaging was available in 276 aneurysms in 270 patients. Recanalization occurred in 56 of 276 aneurysms (20.3%) regardless of the initial angiographic result, but the risk was higher if a body remnant was left (chi2, 11.791; P = .0006).

conclusionsLong-term clinical and angiographic follow-up demonstrates the efficacy of endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Rebleeding after treatment is rare, with the greatest risk during the first 48 hours after treatment. Initial angiographic results are not a useful predictor of clinical outcome or rehemorrhage.
