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

Intracranial side aneurysms (IA) are pathological blood-filled bulges in cerebral blood vessels. Unlike healthy blood vessels where mass transport is dominated by convection, both diffusion and convection can play an active role in aneurysm sites. Here, we study via dye washout experiments and numerical simulations, the transport characteristics of particles (1 micron) and small molecules (300 Da) into simplified side aneurysms models following bolus injection. Time-lapse fluorescent microscopy imaging performed in our idealized aneurysm models showed that the parent artery geometry (located on the inner vs. outer curvature) as well as the aneurysm aspect ratio (AR) affect the washout kinetics while the pulsatile nature of the flow, maintained within the physiological range, carries only a minor effect. Importantly, in the absence of effective diffusion, particles that are located on slow streamlines linger within the aneurysm cavity, a phenomenon that could be of importance in deposition of cells and nano/micro-particles within aneurysms. Altogether, mass transport studies may provide valuable insights for better understanding of aneurysm pathophysiology as well as for the design of new diagnostic and theranostic nano-medicines.
