An investigation into the design of a device to treat haemorrhagic stroke.

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
In this study, we present the design considerations of a device to assist in the potential treatment of hemorrhagic stroke with the aim of stopping blood from flowing out into brain tissue. We present and model three designs for the clinical scenarios when saccular aneurysms rupture in the middle cerebral artery in the brain. We evaluate and model these three designs using computer aided design software, SolidWorks, which allows the devices to be tested using finite element analysis and also enables us to justify that the materials chosen were suitable for potential use. Computational fluid dynamics modelling were used to demonstrate and analyse the flow of blood through the artery under conditions of normal and ruptured states. We conclude that our device could potentially be useful in the treatment of hemorrhagic stroke, and the modelling process is useful in assisting in determining the performance of our devices.
