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

introductionThe concurrent use of endoluminal flow diversion with coils is a viable option when treating complex or large aneurysms. Alternatives to coil embolization as an adjunctive treatment are currently limited. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device (Microvention, Aliso Viejo, California) as an intrasaccular flow diverter for wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. We present the technical aspects of combined WEB device plus endoluminal flow diversion for the treatment of complex wide-necked intracranial aneurysms.

methodsA retrospective chart review of all patients treated via intrasaccular flow diversion at a single institution over the last 12 months was performed.

resultsIn total, seven patients underwent treatment of eight aneurysms via combined intrasaccular and endoluminal flow diversion. Of the seven patients, six were treated in a single setting. The most common aneurysm location was the posterior communicating artery. The majority of the aneurysms required steam shaping of the Via deployment catheter to place the WEB device orthogonally to the aneurysm dome. There were no complications.

conclusionsWe believe this is one of the first series reporting the combined use of the WEB device and endoluminal flow diversion for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. This series demonstrates that the concurrent use of the WEB device with endoluminal flow diversion is safe for achieving immediate aneurysm treatment and may enhance the long-term durability in complex aneurysms.
