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 Woven EndoBridge (WEB) is a well-established device for endovascular treatment of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. The objective was to evaluate the long-term angiographic outcome of the WEB and to identify factors that influence aneurysm occlusion. Patient, aneurysm and procedural characteristics of 213 consecutive patients treated with the WEB at three German tertiary care centers between 2011 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Aneurysm occlusion was determined immediately after the procedure, at mid-term (≤ 12 months) and at long-term (> 12 months) follow-up. Among 182 included aneurysms (mean diameter: 7.0 ± 2.4, mean neck width: 4.3 ± 1.6 mm), 29.7% were ruptured. The novel WEB 17 was used in 41.8%, and 11.0% were treated in combination with coiling and/or stenting. Complete and adequate occlusions were observed in 101/155 (65.2%) and 133/155 (85.8%) at mid-term, respectively, and in 59/94 (62.8%) and 87/94 (92.6%) at long-term follow-up (median: 19 months), respectively. Among 92 patients available for both mid- and long-term follow-up, occlusion was stable in 72.8%, improved in 16.3% and worsened in 10.9%. There were no major recurrences leading to aneurysm remnants between mid- and long-term follow-up. Retreatment was performed in 10/155 (6.5%) during mid-term and in 1/94 (1.0%) during long-term follow-up. The WEB provides durable aneurysm occlusion at the long-term. Nevertheless, follow-up imaging is necessary to identify late recurrences that may occur in around 10%.
