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

purposeStent-assisted coiling (SAC) represents an established treatment option for broad-based intracranial aneurysms. Here we report our initial and follow-up experience with the Neuroform Atlas Stent, a hybrid open- and closed-cell low-profile stent in the treatment of broad-based aneurysms.

methodsAll intracranial aneurysms treated by SAC with the intention to apply the Neuroform Atlas Stent between July 2015 and December 2019 were included. Angiographic and clinical results were analyzed including all follow-up examinations.

resultsA total of 119 aneurysms (8 acutely ruptured) in 112 patients were included. In 19 cases (16.0%) re-catheterization of the aneurysm was performed in a second procedure after failure to re-cross the stent initially. Of all aneurysms, 83.2% (99/119) were completely occluded following the procedure. In 75.6% of all cases (90/119), a single microcatheter was used for both, implantation of the stent and coil occlusion of the aneurysm. At 3-6 and 12 months follow-up, the complete occlusion rates were 75.2 (79/105) and 81.3% (74/91). The thromboembolic (stent thrombosis) and hemorrhagic complication rate was 1.7 (2/119) and 0.8% (1/119), respectively, resulting in a procedure-related morbidity and mortality rate of 0.9 and 0.9% (1/112 patients).

conclusionSAC using the Neuroform Atlas Stent offers a safe and effective option to treat broad-based intracranial aneurysms with a high angiographic and clinical success rate. In the majority of procedures, the application of two mircocatheters is not required. Prospective comparative studies might help to identify the value of SAC using the Neuroform Atlas Stent among the growing treatment options for broad-based aneurysms.
