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

introductionTo evaluate patients with complex aneurysms who underwent waffle-cone stent-assisted coil embolization.

methodsFrom February 2008 to February 2010, consecutive data were collected from 80 patients with aneurysms treated with the Solitaire™ AB Remodeling Device followed by a standard coiling procedure using bare or/and bioactive coils. Six of these patients were treated using the "waffle-cone-technique" placing the distal end of a stent directly into the base of a bifurcation aneurysm and coiling through the expanded and cone-shaped distal end of the stent allowing for preservation of parent artery patency. The aneurysms were located at the P3 segment of the posterior cerebral artery (n = 1), the middle cerebral artery bifurcation (n = 1), the basilar tip (n = 2), and the AComAnt (n = 2). Four patients underwent follow-up (2-7 months, mean 4.5 months).

resultsWaffle-cone positioning of the Solitaire™ AB Remodeling Device was obtained in all cases without technical problems. No permanent procedural morbidity was observed. In all patients, a Raymond class 2 occlusion was obtained and five patients left the hospital with a good clinical status (mRS0 n = 3, mRS1 n = 1) or no new neurologic deficits (mRS4 n = 1). One patient with SAH III died due to severe vasospasms. Due to major recanalization during follow-up, retreatment was necessary or is planned in four cases; one asymptomatic intimal hyperplasia was observed 8 weeks after initial treatment.

conclusionThe waffle-cone technique may enhance the possibilities of the endovascular treatment of these complex aneurysms. Due to the high rate of recanalization requiring endovascular retreatment, stringent angiographic and clinical follow-up is warranted.
