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 purposeThis study is a homogeneous series of circumferential unruptured intracranial aneurysms with large necks treated with stent-assisted coil embolization. Our purpose was to demonstrate which value of packing density is required to produce a durable occlusion. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated all patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms who were treated with stent-assisted coil embolization having late angiographic control between 2004 and 2014, in a single large cerebrovascular referral center. To calculate the packing density, aneurysm volume, and coil volume, we used an on-line system.

resultsIn 49 circumferential unruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coil embolization, 38.7% (

conclusionsIn circumferential aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coil embolization, packing density is the main predictor of complete occlusion. In this type of aneurysm, a packing density of ≥19% was enough to reach complete occlusion; knowing this is important to avoid higher packing densities that have more risk.
