The use of flow diverters to treat small (≤5 mm) ruptured, saccular aneurysms.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThere is limited published literature on the use of flow diverting stents (FDS) to treat ruptured intracranial aneurysms in the acute stage. We present our experience of using FDS to treat small (≤5 mm) ruptured aneurysms.
methodsWe retrospectively identified all patients with ≤5 mm ruptured aneurysms treated exclusively with FDS between February 2009 and February 2016. We recorded demographic data, the Hunt and Hess score, aneurysm location and size, therapeutic intervention, immediate angiographic and clinical result, and clinical and radiological follow-up information.
resultsWe identified seven patients (four females) with average age 59.8 ± 10 years (range 48-75). The average aneurysm fundus size was 2.7 ± 0.76 mm (range 1-4 mm). The average time from ictus to treatment was 6.3 days (range 1-14 days) and there were no cases of repeat rupture prior to treatment or intraoperative rupture. Angiographic follow-up was available in five patients. At initial follow-up, aneurysms (100%) were completely occluded raymond roy classification 1 (RRC 1). None of the aneurysms re-ruptured following treatment. Clinically, six patients were discharged with good functional outcome modified Rankin Score (mRS ≤2). There were no mortalities.
conclusionThe use of FDS to treat small, ruptured, saccular aneurysms is feasible; however, the use of FDS should not be considered first-line treatment. Further studies are required to determine the safety and efficacy of the use of FDS in the acute situation.
