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

Endovascular treatment of giant, fusiform and dissecting aneurysms with flow diverter stents is becoming more and more popular. However, very few studies on the follow-up have been published. We describe a patient with a dissecting aneurysm of the right vertebral artery treated with flow diverter stent placement. The patient was followed up with CT angiography (CTA), time-resolved contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). CTA had false negative results in two instances, whereas time-resolved CE-MRA and DSA were the most accurate in depicting the residual flow in the aneurysmal sac. However, in the case of DSA the demonstration of residual flow proved quite difficult and required a very thorough examination with oblique projections. Our 2.5-year experience with this patient led us to believe that time-resolved CE-MRA is a valuable tool in the follow-up of flow diverter-treated stents.
