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

purposeConventional time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) failed to depict clear visualization of coiled cerebral aneurysms with PulseRider due to metal-induced susceptibility artifacts. Our aim was to overcome the metal artifact using a novel imaging technique of non-contrast-enhanced ultrashort echo-time magnetic resonance angiography (UTE-MRA). MATERIALS AND

methodsFive unruptured intracranial aneurysms were treated using PulseRider and the patients underwent silent MRA (UTE-MRA). The images were compared with TOF-MRA and digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

resultsSilent MRA can visualize the residual cavity of the coiled aneurysms, which was not well visualized and rather defective when using TOF-MRA. While a segment of the proximal marker composed of stainless steel was poorly visualized, the other parts of the parent artery and the arteries of bifurcation, including the aneurysmal neck, were clearly visualized, equivalent to that of DSA.

conclusionsUTE-MRA achieves better visualization of cerebral aneurysms after PulseRider treatment than TOF-MRA.
