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

introductionIntracranial stents have theoretical advantages in the treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms, but the usability of intracranial stents in the retreatment of recurrent intracranial aneurysms is relatively unknown. In this study, we aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of stent-assisted embolization in the retreatment of recurrent or residual intracranial aneurysms.

methodsRetrospective evaluation was carried out for 55 consecutive patients (17 men and 38 women; mean age 51.5 years), with 56 recurrent or residual intracranial aneurysms electively retreated with stent-assisted embolization.

resultsThe technical success rate was 91% (50/55 patients). Procedural complications were encountered with six patients (11%). Angiographic and clinical follow-up data were available for 51 patients (93%), with a mean follow-up period of 28.1 months. No rebleedings were encountered during the study period. The clinical outcome was favorable in 50 patients (91%), with a Glasgow Outcome Score of 4 (N = 14) or 5 (N = 36) at the end of the study period. Poor clinical outcome correlated with very large (>2 cm) total aneurysm size (P = 0.002), large (>10 mm) recurrent aneurysm size (P = 0.011), and occurrence of periprocedural complications (P < 0.001).

conclusionStent-assisted coil embolization is beneficial for the retreatment of wide-necked recurrent or residual intracranial aneurysms, but stability and permanent occlusion of the recurrent aneurysm is unlikely if the aneurysm exceeds 2 cm in diameter, the recurrent diameter of the aneurysm exceeds 10 mm, or if mass effect is present with the recurrent aneurysm.
