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 Woven Endobridge device (WEB) has become widely applied for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Complications are rare, however, especially dislocations and migrations can potentially increase poor clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of rescuing migrated Woven Endobridges using different stent retrievers.

methodsIn a porcine model, Woven Endobridges of different sizes (SLS 4, SLS 7, SL 5 × 3, SL 4 × 3) were placed into the axillary arteries. By means of two different stent retrievers (Solitaire Platinum and 3D Revascularization Device), a total of 20 rescue maneuvers were performed. For this purpose, the retrievers were deployed distally of the migrated Woven Endobridges. After retracting the stent retrievers partially, the Woven Endobridges were trapped within the microcatheter. Rescue rates, time, attempts and complications were assessed.

resultsSuccessful rescue of the migrated Woven Endobridges was observed in all cases (100%). Rescue was slightly faster (177.8 ± 72.8 s vs. 223.4 ± 104.1 s) with fewer attempts (1.5 ± 0.8 vs. 1.8 ± 0.9) when using the 3D Revascularization Device compared to the Solitaire Platinum. However, there were no significant differences (p = 0.327; p = 0.554). Migration of the Woven Endobridges during rescue was seen with both stent retrievers in a comparable frequency (p = 0.642). Further complications, such as entrapment of the stent-retriever-WovenEndobridge-complex at the intermediate catheter, vasospasm, perforation or dissection, were not observed.

conclusionsRescue of migrated Woven Endobridges using stent retrievers is a feasible and effective method. Rescue rates, times and attempts with the Solitaire Platinum and 3D Revascularization Device are comparable with each other.
