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

introductionAngiography is the standard follow-up modality for treated aneurysms with the Woven EndoBridge (WEB), and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is useful for extended follow-up. We present the results of WEB-treated aneurysms with angiographic follow-up at three months and at least 18 months' 3T MRA follow-up. MATERIALS AND

methodsIncluded were 52 patients with 53 aneurysms treated with the WEB between February 2015 and July 2016. There were 29 women and 23 men with a mean age of 60 years (median 62, range 23-76). Mean aneurysm size was 6.2 mm (median 6, range 3-16 mm).

results3T MRA follow-up was mean 19.6 months (median 18, range 18-36 months). One patient had an aneurysm remnant at three-month angiography that was additionally coiled and with stable complete occlusion at 18 months' 3T MRA follow-up. At three-month follow-up angiography, 44 aneurysms were completely occluded and eight had a neck remnant. At latest 3T MRA, stable complete occlusion was present in 43 aneurysms and stable neck remnant in eight. One posterior cerebral artery (PCA) dissection aneurysm was stable at three and six months but was enlarged and reopened at 18 months, confirmed with angiography. Focal signal loss by the proximal marker of the WEB was apparent in four patients without compromising diagnostic evaluation.

conclusionWEB-treated aneurysms with adequate occlusion at three-month angiography remained stable during serial 3T MRA follow-up of 18-36 months. One PCA aneurysm reopened during the 6- to 18-month interval. Once the WEB-treated aneurysm is adequately occluded in the short term, later reopening is uncommon.
