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.

Abstract

background and purposeRecanalization is 1 drawback of the EVT of intracranial aneurysms. An analysis of the factors affecting the midterm anatomic results after EVT of ruptured intracranial aneurysms in a large multicenter series (CLARITY) is presented. MATERIALS AND

methodsOf the 782 patients initially included in the CLARITY trial, 649 would theoretically undergo midterm follow-up examinations. Finally, 517/649 (79.7%) completed a midterm follow-up examination. Midterm anatomic results were independently and anonymously evaluated by 2 experienced neuroradiologists.

resultsIn univariate analysis, factors affecting the quality of midterm occlusion were the quality of the postoperative occlusion (P < .001), hypertension (P = .018), aneurysm size (P = .007), neck size (P = .005), and ICA location (P = .049). In multivariate analysis, 3 factors were associated with the quality of postoperative aneurysm occlusion: neck size (P = .003), use of the balloon remodeling technique (P = .031), and the quality of postoperative occlusion (P < .001). In univariate analysis, the evolution of aneurysm occlusion was affected by age (P = .024) and neck size (P = .041). In multivariate analysis, it was associated with the same factors: age (P = .025) and neck size (P = .043).

conclusionsAmong the many factors considered in this analysis, aneurysm neck size was identified as the single most important one in the quality of aneurysm occlusion at midterm follow-up after EVT. The present results suggest developing and evaluating new strategies of treatment and technique, especially for wide-neck aneurysms, with a focus on reinforcement and neoendothelialization at the level of the neck as objectives.
