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.

Abstract

backgroundThe management of bilateral intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (IVADAs) is controversial, and requires the development of endovascular treatment modalities and principles. We aim to investigate the endovascular treatment strategy and outcomes of bilateral IVADAs.

methodsWe identified all bilateral IVADAs at a high-volume neurointerventional centre over a 10-year period (from January 2009 to December 2018). Radiographic and clinical data were recorded, and a treatment algorithm was derived.

resultsTwenty-seven patients with bilateral IVADAs (54 IVADAs in total, 51 unruptured, 3 ruptured) were diagnosed. Four patients (14.8%) received single-stage endovascular treatment, 12 patients (44.4%) with staged endovascular treatment and 11 patients (40.8%) with unilateral endovascular treatment of bilateral IVADAs. Thirty-six IVADAs (85.7%) have complete obliteration at the follow-up angiography. Two of three ruptured IVADAs with stent-assisted coiling recanalised, and had further recoiling. Three patients (11.1%) have intraprocedural or postprocedural complications (two in single-stage and one in staged). Twenty-five patients (92.6%) had a favourable clinical outcome, and two patients (7.4%, all in single-stage) showed an unfavourable clinical outcome at follow-up. For the patients with unilateral reconstructive endovascular treatment, the contralateral untreated IVADAs were stable and had no growth or ruptured during follow-up period. None of all IVADAs had rebleeding during the clinical follow-up.

conclusionsEndovascular treatment can be performed in bilateral IVADAs with high technical success, high complete obliteration rates and acceptable morbidity/mortality. Contralateral IVADAs had low rates of aneurysm growth and haemorrhage when treated in a staged/delayed fashion.
