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

introductionThe Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is a self-expanding intrasaccular braided-wire device for the treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs). Even though this device has an excellent safety profile and a low risk of rebleeding, little is known about its long-term effects. MATERIAL AND

methodsAll patients treated with WEB due to ruptured WNBAs were subjected to follow-up digital subtraction angiography (DSA) at 2 and 3 years after device deployment. The degree of residual neck was assessed through BOSS, Lubicz, and WEBCAST scales. Data on modified Rankin scale (mRS), bleeding events, and ischemic events occurring during this time period were collected as well. Lastly, overall and procedure-related mortality rates were calculated.

resultsA total of 21 patients were treated between 1 January 2016, and 31 December 2018. DSA demonstrated a patency grade of 57.1% and 61.1% at 2 and 3 years, respectively. The overall 2-year mortality rate due to causes unrelated to the aneurysm was 14.3%. None of the patients were retreated between the 2- and the 3-year follow-up. No rebleeding or stroke events occurred during the follow-up.

conclusionsWEB-treated ruptured aneurysms showed an excellent degree of stability over time. The overall mortality rate-unrelated to the procedure-observed in our sample was higher than what reported in the literature, a possible bias associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
