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

background and purposeThe Woven EndoBridge is an intrasaccular device for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The first generation consisted of a high-profile double-layer braid. This review aims to evaluate the outcomes of the new generation low-profile Woven EndoBridge single layer device for intracranial aneurysm treatment.

methodsA systematic review was conducted with Medline, Embase, and Web of Science Conference Proceedings databases. The search strategy provided 589 articles, 15 articles were included.

resultsFifteen articles were identified reporting the use of Woven EndoBridge single-layer devices in 963 aneurysms, mostly wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. Procedural aneurysm rupture was reported in 8 of 963 patients (0.83%; 95%CI 0.39-1.66%) and thromboembolic events in 54 of 963 patients (5.61%, 95CI 4.31-7.26%). Cumulative morbidity was 2.85% (27/949, 95%CI 1.95-4.12%) and mortality 0.93% (9/963, 95%CI 0.46-1.80%). The overall rate of adequate aneurysm occlusion at last follow-up was 83.3% (613/736; 95%CI 80.4-85.8%). Retreatment was reported in 38 aneurysms in eight studies with 450 aneurysms with follow-up (38/450; 8.4%, 95CI 6.2-11.4%). In 12 studies comprising 644 aneurysms with follow-up, rebleeds occurred in three patients in three studies with mean follow-up between 3.3 and 14.4 months (0.47%, 95%CI 0.09-1.43%).

conclusionWoven EndoBridge single-layer is a promising new low-profile device especially for wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms, both ruptured and unruptured. No antiplatelet medication is needed which is a great advantage, especially in ruptured aneurysms. Efficacy and safety compare favorably with (stent-assisted) coiling. However, no direct comparison with other treatments is available as yet.
