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

The International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT) showed superiority for endovascular treatment of ruptured aneurysms and technology has since moved on rapidly. Many approaches and technology now exist for the endovascular management of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms, which reflects their varied nature - there is no one-size-fits-all technique. We aim to provide an overview of the various classes of device and the major developments over the past decade. Coiling is the oldest of the technology and continues to demonstrate high levels of occlusion and acceptable risks, making it the default treatment choice, particularly in the acutely ruptured aneurysm setting. Advances on coiling include the use of adjuncts such as balloons, stents and fully retrievable temporary neck-bridging devices, which have facilitated the treatment of more complex aneurysms. Flow divertors have also revolutionised complex aneurysm treatment with small added risk in acute aneurysm treatment and seek to remodel the aneurysm-vessel interface without accessing the aneurysm sac. The latest development and most promising avenue appears to be intrasaccular flow disrupting devices like WEB, Contour and Neqstent that provide excellent opportunities to treat wide neck complex aneurysm with minimal mortality and morbidity and good occlusion rates and may in future replace a significant number of stent-assisted coiling too.
