Implementation of computer simulation to assess flow diversion treatment outcomes: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of neurointerventional surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionDespite a decade of research into virtual stent deployment and the post-stenting aneurysmal hemodynamics, the hemodynamic factors which correlate with successful treatment remain inconclusive. We aimed to examine the differences in various post-treatment hemodynamic parameters between successfully and unsuccessfully treated cases, and to quantify the additional flow diversion achievable through stent compaction or insertion of a second stent.
methodsA systematic review and meta-analysis were performed on eligible studies published from 2000 to 2019. We first classified cases according to treatment success (aneurysm occlusion) and then calculated the pooled standardized mean differences (SMD) of each available parameter to examine their association with clinical outcomes. Any additional flow diversion arising from the two common strategies for improving the stent wire density was quantified by pooling the results of such studies.
resultsWe found that differences in the aneurysmal inflow rate (SMD -6.05, 95% CI -10.87 to -1.23, p=0.01) and energy loss (SMD -5.28, 95% CI -7.09 to -3.46, p<0.001) between the successfully and unsuccessfully treated groups were indicative of statistical significance, in contrast to wall shear stress (p=0.37), intra-aneurysmal average velocity (p=0.09), vortex core-line length (p=0.46), and shear rate (p=0.09). Compacting a single stent could achieve additional flow diversion comparable to that by dual-stent implantation.
conclusionsInflow rate and energy loss have shown promise as identifiers to discriminate between successful and unsuccessful treatment, pending future research into their diagnostic performance to establish optimal cut-off values.
