Clinical Experience of Using an 8 French Newton Shaped Catheter (Neuro-EBU) During Endovascular Treatment: A Case Series of 21 Patients.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The first step in endovascular treatment is the stable placement of a guide catheter (GC) into the target parent vessel. However, sufficient GC stabilization is sometimes difficult to obtain when the approach route has severe tortuosity. Here, we report our experience with and the usefulness of the 8 French (Fr) Newton-shaped Neuro-EBU vascular catheter (SILUX Co., Ltd., Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan), which is rigid over its entire length except near the tip, in a case series of 21 patients. Of the 21 cases, 19 cases were successfully treated using the Neuro-EBU. The 8 Fr Newton-shaped Neuro-EBU might be useful both as a special GC and as a wire exchange catheter when placement of the conventional GC is difficult due to severe tortuosity of the access route. Although rarely used, the Neuro-EBU catheter can serve as a practical alternative when the access route is challenging. To the best of our knowledge, there are no detailed reports on the technical use of the Newton-shaped vascular catheter in the field of neurointervention. We present the usefulness of the specially shaped 8 Fr guide catheter.
