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 purposeEndovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms aims at preventing aneurysm rupture. Contrast-enhanced black-blood MR imaging facilitates imaging of the vessel walls and the aneurysmal sac contents and is therefore suitable for studying the healing process. This study aims to describe imaging findings of aneurysmal contrast enhancement following endovascular treatment and its correlation to recurrence and elapsed time since coiling. MATERIALS AND

methodsPatients undergoing MR imaging follow-up after endovascular treatment of an intracranial aneurysm were included. Contrast-enhanced black-blood T1WI was acquired. Aneurysm wall and intra-aneurysmal enhancement were independently assessed by 2 neuroradiologists and were related to the time elapsed since coiling and the presence of recurrence.

resultsThirty aneurysms in 30 patients were included. The median time elapsed since treatment was 417 days (interquartile range, 189-1273 days). Aneurysmal contrast enhancement was seen in 24/30 (80%) aneurysms. Enhancement inside the sac in 55% (

conclusionsIntra-aneurysmal contrast enhancement following endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is a common finding and likely reflects the healing process. A long-term study to examine changes occurring with time and their association with packing density, type of coils (bare platinum versus bioactive coils), and aneurysm recurrence is underway (German Clinical Trials Register, DRKS-ID: DRKS00014644).
