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

objectiveMorbidity and mortality in patients experiencing the rupture of intracranial aneurysm ruptures are high. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the role of stent-assisted coiling (SAC) for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) with wide neck. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe current meta-analysis was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Pooled proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of ten outcomes of interest were calculated.

resultsWe finally reviewed 13 studies, including 976 patients. The technical success of the method was 98.43% (95% CI: 95.62-99.95). Early outcomes included total periprocedural obliteration with a rate of 50.20% (95% CI: 36.09-64.30) and periprocedural rupture with zero rate. During the follow-up period, ranging from 6 months to 2 years, the total postprocedural obliteration rate was 63.83% (95% CI: 45.80-80.18) and the overall late rupture rate was 0.41% (95% CI: 0.00-2.38). The pooled in-stent stenosis rate was calculated at 1.24% (95% CI: 0.02-3.63). We also estimated a pooled rate of 0.02% (95% CI: 0.00-0.51) and 4.33% (95% CI: 2.03-7.23) for total mortality and overall neurological complications, respectively. A pooled rate of 3.94% (95% CI: 1.48-7.33) was found for stroke. Finally, the recanalization rate was recorded at 7.07% (95% CI: 4.35-10.26).

conclusionsSAC of UIAs with wide neck seems to be a safe and acceptable alternative to surgical clipping. Although early results concerning total periprocedural obliteration may be modest, follow-up outcomes may be indicative of adequate occlusion of treated UIAs.
