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 low-profile Acandis Acclino is a self-expandable nitinol microstent for stent-assisted coiling of intracranial aneurysms. This article reports long-term clinical and angiographic outcome in a multicenter setting.

methodsIn this study 98 consecutive patients (mean age 55.4 ± 13.5 years) were treated with the Acclino for 98 aneurysms (28 unruptured, 20 recurrent, 50 ruptured) at 3 German tertiary care centers within a 6-year period. The technical success, complications, clinical outcome and angiographic results were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsThe technical success rate was 100% with immediate complete occlusion achieved in 89.8% of the patients. Among 65 patients (66.3%) available for a 6‑month follow-up, complete and near-complete occlusion rates were 92.3% and 98.5%, respectively. In 38 patients (38.8%) with long-term follow-up (mean: 21 months), complete and near-complete occlusion were achieved in 81.2% and 89.5%, respectively. Aneurysm recurrence between mid-term and long-term follow-up was observed in 14.3%. The retreatment rate was 11.3%. There were three thromboembolic events (3.1%), of which one resulted in ischemic stroke (1.0%). For unruptured aneurysms, the procedural and device-related morbidity rates were 2.1% and 0%, respectively.

conclusionIn the present study, the Acclino was associated with a low risk of thromboembolic complications and high aneurysm occlusion rates at long-term follow-up. Due to incomplete angiographic follow-up in this series, prospective studies will be necessary to confirm the results.
