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

introductionQuantitative magnetic resonance angiography and non-invasive optimal vessel analysis serve as powerful tools to collect and analyze hemodynamic data from pipeline embolization patients. At our institution, patients receive post-embolization quantitative magnetic resonance angiography within 24 h of treatment and within 6 months for follow-up to evaluate pipeline patency. Here, we aim to elucidate the long-term hemodynamic changes following pipeline embolization device placement and report two cases in which in-stent stenosis was detected.

methodsMedical records of patients who underwent pipeline embolization device placement for an internal carotid artery aneurysm between 2017 and 2019 were reviewed. Patients who received post-procedure NOVA and follow-up NOVA were included in the study (

resultsThe middle cerebral artery mean and diastolic flow velocities were significantly lower on the follow-up NOVA compared to the post-procedure NOVA. Moreover, follow-up NOVA demonstrated lower middle cerebral artery wall shear stress on the side with flow diversion compared to the post-procedure NOVA. In-stent stenosis, requiring intervention, was detected in two patients on follow-up NOVA. One patient had a successful balloon angioplasty of the stented internal carotid artery that resolved her stenosis. However, the second patient developed progressive stenosis and expired despite intervention.

conclusionLong-term hemodynamic adaptations post-pipeline embolization device demonstrate decreased wall shear stress and decreased mean and diastolic flow velocities in the distal middle cerebral artery, which suggest decreasing velocity of blood flow with endothelialization of the device. Furthermore, follow-up NOVA is a useful tool for detecting potential flow-related complications such as in-stent stenosis.
