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

backgroundTo investigate the discrepancy between two-dimensional digital subtraction angiography and three-dimensional rotational angiography for small (<5 mm) cerebral aneurysms and the impact on decision making among neuro-interventional experts as evaluated by online questionnaire. MATERIALS AND

methodsEight small (<5 mm) ruptured aneurysms were visually identified in 16 image sets in either two-dimensional or three-dimensional format for placement in a questionnaire for 11 invited neuro-interventionalists. For each set, two questions were posed: Question 1: "Which of the following is the preferred treatment choice: simple coiling, balloon remodeling or stent assisted coiling?"; Question 2: "Is it achievable to secure the aneurysm with pure simple coiling?" The discrepancies of angio-architecture parameters and treatment choices between two-dimensional-digital subtraction angiography and three-dimensional rotational angiography were evaluated.

resultsIn all eight cases, the neck images via three-dimensional rotational angiography were larger than two-dimensional-digital subtraction angiography with a mean difference of 0.95 mm. All eight cases analyzed with three-dimensional rotational angiography, but only one case with two-dimensional-digital subtraction angiography were classified as wide-neck aneurysms with dome-to-neck ratio < 1.5. The treatment choices based on the two-dimensional or three-dimensional information were different in 56 of 88 (63.6%) paired answers. Simple coiling was the preferred choice in 66 (75%) and 26 (29.6%) answers based on two-dimensional and three-dimensional information, respectively. Three types of angio-architecture with a narrow gap between the aneurysm sidewall and parent artery were proposed as an explanation for neck overestimation with three-dimensional rotational angiography.

conclusionsAneurysm neck overestimation with three-dimensional rotational angiography predisposed neuro-interventionalists to more complex treatment techniques. Additional two-dimensional information is crucial for endovascular treatment planning for small cerebral aneurysms.
