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

backgroundFlow diverter stents represent a new endovascular tool to treat complex aneurysms, such as giant, large, wide-necked and fusiform. The highly dense mash of these stents reduces inflow and outflow inside the aneurysm, resulting in intra aneurysmal thrombosis and stent endothelialization.

objectivesTo present the results of treatment of intracranial aneurysms with flow diverter stents in a single center.

methodsRetrospective review of 77 patients with 87 aneurysms treated using two different types of flow diverter stent, the Pipeline Embolization Device and SILK stent, between October 2010 and September 2013 in an interventional neuroradiology center.

resultsFlow diverter stent placement was successful in 98% of the lesions and resulted in an immediate major stasis within most of the treated aneurysms. The overall aneurysm occlusion rate at six months and 18 months was 80% and 84% respectively. Symptomatic complications occurred in 11 patients (14.3%) with morbidity in eight (10.4%) and mortality in three patients (3.9%).

conclusionFlow diversion is a promising technique for treatment of challenging intracranial aneurysms with acceptable morbidity. A high rate of complete occlusion for small large necked aneurysms, a low morbidity and mortality rate and no recanalization encourage their use in these aneurysms. Further studies accessing long-term aneurysm occlusion and recanalization are required.
