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

purposeAn unfavorable vertebral artery (VA) anatomy occasionally inhibits a successful VA cannulation due to flow stagnation after catheterization. To preserve antegrade VA flow, we developed bilateral transradial catheter systems, referred to as the role-sharing technique, for coil embolization of basilar artery (BA) aneurysms associated with an unfavorable VA anatomy. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of coil embolization using the role-sharing technique for BA aneurysms.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed an institutional database of consecutive patients with BA aneurysm who underwent coil embolization using the role-sharing technique between July 2019 and January 2020. The study included seven consecutive patients. Bilateral transradial VA cannulation was performed using 3.2F catheters (TACTICS; Technocrat Corporation, Aichi, Japan) via 4F guiding sheaths placed in the subclavian artery. The following catheter systems were used: the triaxial system (4F guiding sheath/TACTICS/coil or stent delivery microcatheter) that has a specialized role in embolization and the biaxial system (4F guiding sheath/TACTICS) that has a specialized role in contrast injection during embolization procedure. The procedural success and procedure-related or vascular access site complications were assessed.

resultsAll patients underwent a successful embolization procedure using the bilateral transradial catheter systems and none of them presented with flow stagnation, system instability, or other complications.

conclusionThe role-sharing technique was shown to be a feasible and safe method for coil embolization of BA aneurysms associated with an unfavorable VA anatomy. This method may increase the success rate of transradial coil embolization for BA aneurysms.
