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 safety and efficacy of the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms has been investigated in several studies. Our objective was to report the experience of 2 neurovascular centers with the WEB device in the treatment of broad-based intracranial aneurysms, including the technical feasibility and safety as well as short- and midterm angiographic and clinical follow-up-results. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of all ruptured and unruptured aneurysms treated with a WEB device (WEB Single-Layer and Single-Layer Sphere) between August 2014 and February 2017. Primary outcome measures included the feasibility of implantation and the angiographic outcome. Secondary outcome measures included the clinical outcome at discharge and procedural complications.

resultsOne hundred two aneurysms in 101 patients, including 37 (36.3%) ruptured aneurysms, were treated with the WEB device. Implantation was successful in 98 (96.1%) aneurysms. Additional devices (stents/coils) were necessary in 15.3% (15/98) of aneurysms. Procedural complications occurred in 4.9% (5/102). Of these, 4 were thromboembolic events and 1 was an intraprocedural rupture. Angiographic follow-up at 3 and 12 months was available for 79.6% (78/98) and 50.0% (49/98) of all aneurysms to date, respectively, showing a sufficient aneurysm occlusion in 80.7% (63/78) at 3 months and 77.6% (38/49) at 12 months. Delayed aneurysm ruptures have not been observed during the follow-up period to date.

conclusionsThe WEB device offers a safe and effective treatment option for broad-based intracranial aneurysms without the need for dual antiplatelet therapy.
