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

objectiveTo evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of stent-assisted coiling for the treatment of complex posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms.

methodsAngiographic and clinical data of 23 patients harboring 23 complex PCA aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coiling from March 2010 to March 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.

resultsIn this study 8 (34.8%) aneurysms were located at the P1 segment, 7 (30.4%) at the junction of P1 and P2 segments (P1-2), and 8 (34.8%) at the P2 segment. The aneurysms were ruptured in 7 cases (30.4%). Thirteen were dissecting in nature, while the other 10 were classical saccular aneurysms. Of the patients, 5 (21.7%) had of history of recent head trauma, immediate angiographic results were Raymond class I in 5 (21.7%) cases, Raymond class II in 8 (34.8%), and Raymond class III in 10 (43.5%). Perioperative complications occurred in one case with occlusion of the PA due to acute in-stent thrombosis without any neurologic deficit at discharge. The last angiographic follow-up (mean 18.7 months) results demonstrated complete aneurysmal occlusion in 20 (87.0%) cases, PA occlusion in 1 (4.3%) and recurrence in 2 (8.7%). Of the two patients with aneurysm recurrence, one was treated by PA occlusion, and the other was treated with two overlapping stents. Clinical follow-up (mean 58.3 months) was available for all 23 patients, 22 (95.7%) patients had good neurologic outcomes (mRS score 0-2), and 1 (4.3%) patient died 7 months after the procedure for unknown reasons.

conclusionStent-assisted coiling for the treatment of complex PCA aneurysms is safe and durable with a relatively low rate of complication and a relatively high rate of complete occlusion at long-term follow-up and is a promising alternative strategy for the reconstruction of the PCA.
