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

introductionThe purpose of this study was to present the long-term clinical and angiographic follow-up (FU) in 26 consecutive patients with giant/large aneurysms (G/LAs) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) treated by parent artery occlusion (PAO).

methodsTwenty-two of 26 G/LAs of the ICA were treated by PAO when a balloon test occlusion prior to occlusion of the ICA was tolerated. Clinical and angiographic FU were available in, respectively, 20 and 18 patients with a mean delay of 6.1 years (range 1.5-11).

resultsAt long-term FU, clinical symptoms had disappeared in 75% of the patients, partially regressed in 10%, and remained unchanged in 15% of cases. No patient presented worsening of clinical symptoms or intracranial bleeding. Fifteen patients presented a modified Rankin scale score of 0 and five patients a score of 1. On imaging FU, persistent occlusion of the PA was observed in 17/18 cases. One case of aneurysmal recanalization was observed at long-term FU. PAO was well tolerated in all patients. On angiographic FU, no new lesion was detected, except the growing of a pre-existing aneurysm located on the carotid siphon contralateral to the occluded vessel.

conclusionOur study demonstrates that occlusion of the parent artery for giant/large ICA aneurysms remains a safe and effective technique with good clinical and angiographic outcome at long-term FU.
