Reconstructive endovascular treatment of basilar artery fenestration aneurysms: A multi-centre experience and literature review.
Review in The neuroradiology journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundData on outcome after endovascular treatment of basilar artery fenestration aneurysms (BAFAs) is limited. This study presents our multi-centre experience of BAFAs treated by different reconstructive techniques including coils, stent-assisted coiling (SAC), flow diversion and intra-saccular flow disruption with the Woven Endobridge (WEB).
methodsRetrospective analysis of 38 BAFAs treated endovascularly between 2003 and 2020. The primary endpoint was complete aneurysm obliteration defined as Raymond-Roy occlusion classification (RROC) I on immediate and follow-up (FU) angiography. The secondary endpoints were procedure-related complications, rate of re-treatment, and clinical outcome.
resultsEndovascular treatment was feasible in 36/38 aneurysms (95%). The most frequent strategy was coiling (21/36, 58%), followed by SAC (7/36, 19%), WEB embolization (6/36, 17%) and flow diversion (2/36, 6%). A successful aneurysm occlusion (defined as RROC 1 and 2) on the final angiogram was achieved in 30/36 (83%) aneurysms including all patients presenting with baseline subarachnoid haemorrhage and 25/36 (69%) were occluded completely. Complete occlusion (RROC 1) was more frequently achieved in ruptured BAFAs (15/25, 60% v. 2/11, 18%;
conclusionReconstructive endovascular treatment of BAFAs is technically feasible with a good safety profile. Although in some cases re-treatment was necessary, a high rate of final aneurysm occlusion was achieved.
