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

purposeMorphological parameters of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are well established for rupture risk assessment. However, a manual measurement is error-prone, not reproducible and cumbersome. For an automatic extraction of morphological parameters, a 3D neck curve reconstruction approach to delineate the aneurysm from the parent vessel is required.

methodsWe present a 3D semiautomatic aneurysm neck curve reconstruction for the automatic extraction of morphological parameters which was developed and evaluated with an experienced neuroradiologist. We calculate common parameters from the literature and include two novel angle-based parameters: the characteristic dome point angle and the angle difference of base points.

resultsWe applied our method to 100 IAs acquired with rotational angiography in clinical routine. For validation, we compared our approach to manual segmentations yielding highly significant correlations. We analyzed 95 of these datasets regarding rupture state. Statistically significant differences were found in ruptured and unruptured groups for maximum diameter, maximum height, aspect ratio and the characteristic dome point angle. These parameters were also found to statistically significantly correlate with each other.

conclusionsThe new 3D neck curve reconstruction provides robust results for all datasets. The reproducibility depends on the vessel tree centerline and the user input for the initial dome point and parameters characterizing the aneurysm neck region. The characteristic dome point angle as a new metric regarding rupture risk assessment can be extracted. It requires less computational effort than the complete neck curve reconstruction.
