Robotic-assisted intracranial aneurysm treatment: 1 year follow-up imaging and clinical outcomes.
Article in Journal of neurointerventional surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 3 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
backgroundThe use of robotics in medicine may enable increased technical accuracy, reduced procedural time and radiation exposure, and remote completion of procedures. We have previously described the first-in-human, robotic-assisted cerebral aneurysm treatment using the CorPath GRX Robotic System. In this report we discuss our early experiences and outcomes using this robotic device for endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using stent-assisted coil embolization and flow diversion.
methodsThe patient and disease characteristics, procedural details, and follow-up imaging and clinical outcomes of consecutive patients undergoing robotically-assisted intracranial aneurysm embolization between November 2019 and February 2020 are presented.
resultsSix patients underwent robotically-assisted embolization of intracranial aneurysms. Four of the patients were treated with a neck-bridging stent (with or without coiling) and two patients were treated with a flow-diverting stent. Two patients were treated in the subacute period of subarachnoid hemorrhage and four patients were treated electively. All of the procedures could be completed robotically and there was no need for unplanned manual intervention. The technical success rate of the procedures was 100%. There was no morbidity or mortality associated with the procedures. One year follow-up imaging showed that four aneurysms were completely obliterated (Raymond-Roy Occlusion Classification (RROC) class I) and the remaining two were occluded with a residual neck (RROC class II).
conclusionsThe Corpath GRX Robotic System demonstrated a precise control over the microcatheter, wire and stent during aneurysm treatment. Robotic neuro-procedures seem to be safe and effective and demonstrate stable occlusion results in the midterm follow-up.
