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

purposeAcute intraprocedural thrombosis (AIT) is a severe complication of flow diverter stent (FDS) implantation for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Even though device-related thromboembolic complications are well known, there are no acknowledged risk factors nor defined surveillance protocols for their early detection. This study aimed to demonstrate that an angiographic active surveillance is effective to detect and treat AIT. Furthermore, we investigated risk factors for the occurrence of AIT.

methodsA prospective institutional protocol consisting of a defined observation period of 30 min following FDS deployment was established to detect AIT. Overall incidence, as well as the efficacy and safety of AIT treatment were assessed. Moreover, radiological and clinical outcomes of patients with AIT were analyzed. The influence of various patient- and procedure-related factors on the occurrence of AIT was investigated using multivariable forward logistic regression.

resultsDuring active surveillance twelve cases of AIT were observed among a total of 161 procedures (incidence: 7.5%). The median time of first observation was 15.5 min (IQR 9.5) after FDS implantation. The early recognition of AIT ensured a prompt treatment with intravenous application of a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, which led to complete thrombus resolution in all cases without hemorrhagic complications. Patients with pre-existing arterial hypertension and side branches originating from the aneurysmal sac had a higher risk of AIT (respectively OR, 9.844; OR, 3.553). There were two cases of re-thrombosis in the short-term postoperative period, of whom one died. The remaining patients with AIT had a good clinical outcome.

conclusionActive surveillance for 30 min after FDS implantation is an effective strategy for early detection and ensuing treatment of AIT and can thus prevent secondary sequalae. Hypertension and side branches originating from the aneurysmal sac may increase the risk of AIT.
