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

backgroundThe LVIS Jr device holds a number of advantages but poses unique technical challenges compared to such, especially, complex multistent constructs. We report our experience with the technical feasibility and early to mid-term outcomes of Y-stent-assisted coiling with the LVIS Jr using a simple, single microcatheter technique.

methodsUsing a departmental database, we retrospectively reviewed a single surgeon's experience with Y-stent-assisted coiling with LVIS Jr over a three-year period. Eighteen aneurysms in 17 patients were treated over this period. We assessed the technical success of the procedures, the initial and follow-up radiographic success with the modified Raymond-Roy occlusion score and follow-up clinical outcome with the modified Rankin scale.

resultsAll stents were successfully deployed, and 17 of 18 aneurysms were successfully coiled at the initial treatment for a technical success rate of 94.4%. Of the 17 aneurysms with follow-up imaging, all were modified Raymond-Roy grade 1 or 2. One aneurysm required retreatment for coil compaction and a growing neck. There were two immediate postprocedure symptomatic strokes and one delayed stroke related to antiplatelet non-compliance. The two immediate symptomatic strokes recovered to neurological baseline with no residual deficits by the time of discharge. The long-term morbidity rate was 5.5%. The mortality rate was 0%. All patients had a modified Rankin Scale ≤ 2 at most recent follow-up.

conclusionTreatment with LVIS Jr Y-stent constructs via a single microcatheter technique is technically feasible with good radiographic and clinical outcomes.
