Reconstructive Endovascular Treatment of Basilar Trunk and Vertebrobasilar Junction Aneurysms: A Review of 77 Consecutive Cases.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Background: Basilar trunk and vertebrobasilar junction (BTVBJ) aneurysms have a poor prognosis and are challenging to treat. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of reconstructive endovascular treatment for BTVBJ aneurysms and explore a treatment selection paradigm. Methods: Clinical and angiographic data from 77 patients with 80 BTVBJ aneurysms who underwent endovascular treatment with flow diverters (FDs) or conventional stent-assisted coiling between January 2016 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Aneurysm characteristics and treatment outcomes were compared between treatment groups. Results: Among the 77 study patients, 34 (44.2%) were treated with FDs and 43 (55.8%) with conventional stent-assisted coiling. Overall, 72.7% of patients achieved favorable clinical outcome at follow-up. The rate of procedure-related complications was 23.4%. The aneurysm occlusion rate at last follow-up did not differ between the FD and conventional stent groups (79.2% vs. 77.1%, Conclusion: Endovascular treatment of small BTVBJ aneurysms using either FDs or conventional stents was feasible and effective. In patients with large or giant aneurysms, treatment using FDs achieved higher rates of occlusion and favorable clinical outcome at last follow-up than conventional stent-assisted coiling.
