Flow Diversion of Posterior Circulation Aneurysms: Systematic Review of Disaggregated Individual Patient Data.
Synthesis in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundExperience with endoluminal flow diversion for the treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms is limited. PURPOSE: We sought to investigate factors associated with the safety and efficacy of this treatment by collecting disaggregated patient-level data from the literature. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, EMBASE, and Ovid were searched up through 2019 for articles reporting flow diversion of posterior circulation aneurysms. STUDY SELECTION: Eighty-four studies reported disaggregated data for 301 separate posterior circulation aneurysms. DATA ANALYSIS: Patient, aneurysm, and treatment factors were collected for each patient. Outcomes included the occurrence of major complications, angiographic occlusion, and functional outcomes based on the mRS. DATA SYNTHESIS: Significant differences in aneurysm and treatment characteristics were seen among different locations. Major complications occurred in 22%, angiographic occlusion was reported in 65% (11.3 months of mean follow-up), and good functional outcomes (mRS 0-2) were achieved in 67% (13.3 months of mean follow-up). Multivariate analysis identified age, number of flow diverters used, size, and prior treatment to be associated with outcome measures. Meta-analysis combining the current study with prior large nondisaggregated series of posterior circulation aneurysms treated with flow diversion found a pooled incidence of 20% ( LIMITATIONS: This study design is susceptible to publication bias. Use of antiplatelet therapy was not uniformly reported.
conclusionsEndoluminal flow diversion is an important tool in the treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms. Patient age, aneurysm size, prior treatment, and the number of flow diverters used are important factors associated with complications and outcomes.
