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

backgroundDural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are commonly encountered lesions that can be treated both transvenously, transarterially or using a combined approach.

objectiveTransvenous coil embolization of DAVF is a recognized treatment option but can be challenging. In this context this article presents clinical experience using the Kaneka ED10 ExtraSoft coils in combination with the Marathon microcatheter to treat high grade DAVF. The physical properties of these coils and the microcatheter were also determined. MATERIAL AND

methodsAll patients with high grade DAVF treated with the Marathon and the Kaneka ED COIL ∞10 ExtraSoft coils were retrospectively identified. The clinical presentation, location, grade of the lesion, clinical and radiological follow-up data were recorded. Bench side studies were performed to determine the physical properties of the Marathon catheter in comparison to the SL10 and Headway Duo as well the maximum width of the Kaneka pusher wire in comparison to Hypersoft, Target and Axium Prime coils.

resultsA total of 8 patients with 9 DAVF with 3 Cognard 3 and 6 Cognard 4 lesions were identified. All the DAVF's were occluded either at the end of the procedure or on follow-up imaging. On bench side tests the Marathon microcatheter had the most flexible distal tip and distal shaft in comparison to the SL10 and Headway Duo. The proximal shaft of the Marathon was stiffer than the SL10. The Kaneka ED COIL ∞10 ExtraSoft had the smallest distal width and were the only coils tested that could be deployed through a Marathon microcatheter.

conclusionThe combination of the Marathon microcatheter and Kaneka ED COIL ∞10 ExtraSoft is useful for the treatment of high grade DAVF.
