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

purposeThe Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device has been proven to be a safe and efficient endovascular treatment option for wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. The study aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of procedural complications related to WEB embolization of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

methodsThis was a multicenter, observational study of consecutive patients with ruptured and unruptured aneurysms who were treated with the WEB at three German tertiary care centers between May 2011 and February 2018. Patient characteristics, anatomical details and procedural aspects were retrospectively collected and the impact on procedure-related complications was evaluated.

resultsAmong 120 patients (mean age 58.5 ± 11.9 years) with 120 aneurysms (mean size: 8.5 ± 4.5 mm), WEB implantation was successful in 112 patients (93.3%). The rates for overall and symptomatic complications were 11.7% and 5.0%, respectively. At 6‑month follow-up device-related morbidity was 1.2% among unruptured aneurysms and 2.6% among ruptured aneurysms. In the univariate analysis, a lower aspect ratio (p = 0.04) and an increased width-to-height ratio (p = 0.03) were significant risk factors for procedural complications.

conclusionThe results of this study confirmed the WEB to be a safe treatment option, which is associated with low complication rates and minimal morbidity. Complications tended to occur more often in aneurysms with an unfavorable ratio between aneurysm height and aneurysm/neck width.
