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 purposeHemodynamics have been shown to play an important role in the initiation and progress of intracranial aneurysms, and are considered well-related to vascular configuration. The purpose of this study was to quantify the vascular geometry change due to intracranial stent placement and to discuss its potential effects on hemodynamics. MATERIALS AND

methodsImaging data of patients with wide-neck AcomA aneurysms, treated with stent-assisted coiling between January 2005 and January 2010, were retrospectively analyzed. The angle between the afferent vessels (A1 segment) and the efferent vessels (ipsilateral or contralateral A2 segment) was calculated to determine the exact change in the angle after stent placement.

resultsIn all 20 patients, the stent caused a distinct change in the geometry of the parent vessel. Stent-related vascular angle change ranged from 7.60 to 74.88°, with an average of 29.95°. In 10 cases, the angle changed by >30°. In the 12 patients with the distal segment of the stent placed in the ipsilateral A2 segment, the mean postoperative A1-A2 angle increased by 27.71 ± 13.17° (from 7.60° to 48.29°). In the other 8 patients with the distal segment of the stent placed in the contralateral A2 segment, the mean postoperative A1-AcomA-A2 angle increased by 33.29 ± 21.89°(from 15.49° to 74.88°).

conclusionsIn addition to serving as a scaffold to contain coils, stent placement for AcomA aneurysms has a substantial effect on the vascular geometry, which may result in local hemodynamic changes.
