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

introductionAccurate sizing of the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is of critical importance as it determines procedural safety and successful occlusion of wide neck bifurcation aneurysms. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of aneurysm volume to assist in accurate WEB size selection.

methodsAll patients with an intracranial aneurysm treated with the WEB SL or WEB SLS device between March 2019 and October 2019 were identified for this retrospective study. Aneurysm volumes were calculated with auto-segmentation using a three-dimensional volume rendering program on an independent Syngo workstation (Siemens Healthineers AG). Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated for aneurysm auto-segmented volumes and WEB volumes, as well as for aneurysm height × width and WEB height × width. Follow-up angiographic outcomes were collected at 6-9 months post-procedure.

resultsTwenty-nine aneurysms were evaluated by 3D rotational angiography. The correlation coefficient with WEB size was larger for auto-segmented aneurysm volumes (r = 0.979) compared to height × width measurements (r = 0.867). Using Fisher r-to-z transformations, we found the difference between the two correlations to be statistically significant (p = 0.0007). Follow-up angiography available in 13 subjects demonstrated an 85% complete aneurysm occlusion rate.

conclusionAneurysm volumes are highly correlated with WEB volumes, with auto-segmentation volumes displaying statistically significant difference against conventional height by width measurements. These results suggest that volumetric measurements of aneurysm size provide a useful adjuvant measure to assist in appropriate size selection of the WEB device.
