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

purposeEndovascular treatment of fenestration-related aneurysms (FAs) is prone to technical challenges, given the inherent complexities. Herein, we have analyzed FAs in terms of angioarchitectural characteristics and outcomes achieved through endovascular intervention.

methodsData accrued prospectively between January 2002 and July 2020 were productive of 105 FAs in 103 patients, each classifiable by the nature of incorporated vasculature as proximal portion, fenestrated limb, or distal end. Our investigation focused on clinical and morphological outcomes, with emphasis on technical aspects of treatment.

resultsThe FAs selected for study originated primarily in anterior communicating artery (AcomA: 88/105, 83.8%), followed by basilar (7/105, 6.7%), anterior cerebral (4/105, 3.8%), and internal carotid (3/105, 2.8%) arteries. In nearly all locations, proximally situated aneurysms (43/105, 41%) were more frequent than aneurysms arising at distal ends (3/105, 2.8%), but the majority of AcomA lesions involved fenestrated segments (58/88, 65.9%); and most fenestrated channels (90/105, 85.7%) were asymmetric in size. Orifices of smaller fenestrated limbs were intentionally compromised during coil embolization in 23 aneurysms (21.9%), achieving complete (n = 19) or incomplete (n = 4) compromise, without resultant symptomatic ischemia. Saccular occlusion proved satisfactory in 77 lesions (73.3%). In follow-up monitoring of 100 patients for a mean period of 35.3 ± 26.5 months, 17 instances of recanalization (17.0%) occurred (minor, 9; major, 8). There was no recanalization of aneurysms with compromised limbs.

conclusionCoil embolization of FAs is safe and effective, enabling tailored procedures that accommodate aberrant angioanatomic configurations. Compromise of a single limb during coiling also appears safe, conferring long-term protection from recanalization.
