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 purposeThe Acclino is a laser-cut closed-cell microstent composed of nitinol. It was developed for stent-assisted coiling of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. The key feature of the stent is its deployability via low-profile microcatheters with an inner diameter of 0.0165 inch, which are also suited for coil deployment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility as well as the immediate and mid-term results of this new device. MATERIALS AND

methodsOur database was screened for all Acclino-based stent-assisted intracranial coil embolizations since its introduction to the European market in June 2012. Case files and imaging data were retrospectively analyzed for angiographical and clinical outcome parameters, including immediate and mid-term modified Raymond-Roy aneurysm occlusion classification (RROC) rates and procedural complications.

resultsFourteen patients comprising 14 aneurysms (9 unruptured and 5 ruptured) were treated with the Acclino. All except for a dissecting one were wide-neck saccular aneurysms. Immediate complete occlusion (RROC1) was observed in 8/14 cases (57%), a residual neck (RROC2) in 4/14 (29%), and a persistent filling of the dome (RROC 3) in 1/14 cases (7%). An in-stent thrombus formation in one case (7%) was medically resolved without neurological deficit. Follow-up was available in 9/14 cases (64%) after a mean of 137 days (SD ± 50). All followed cases depicted a complete occlusion (RROC1).

conclusionsThe Acclino microstent showed a satisfactory safety profile and a promising rate of immediate and mid-term complete aneurysm occlusion for stent-assisted coil embolization in wide-neck intracranial aneurysms, warranting further investigation of the device.
