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
objectiveThe Woven EndoBridge (WEB) is a well-studied intrasaccular device for endovascular treatment of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. We evaluated the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the WEB for the treatment of very broad-based aneurysms with a dome-to-neck ratio ≤ 1.1.
methodsThirty-four aneurysms treated at three neurovascular centers were retrospectively identified. The mean aneurysm size was 5.5 ± 1.6 mm with a mean neck width of 4.7 ± 1.5 and a mean dome-to-neck ratio of 1.0 ± 0.1. The primary outcome measures were immediate technical treatment success by WEB only, complete or near-complete occlusion at 6-month follow-up and ischemic stroke.
resultsAneurysm embolization by WEB only was technically feasible in 79.4%. Additional stenting was required in 14.7%. In two aneurysms (5.9%), WEB implantation failed, and the aneurysm was treated by stent- and balloon-assisted coiling, respectively. Thromboembolic events occurred during 5 interventions (14.7%), all of these performed in ruptured aneurysms. One patient (2.9%) remained asymptomatic (follow-up modified Rankin scale [mRS] score: 0), 2 patients (5.9%) had a transient deficit (mRS 0 and 1, respectively), and 2 (5.9%) had a disabling ischemic stroke (mRS 3, respectively). Mid-term angiographic follow-up of 29 patients (4.0 ± 2.6 months, range: 2-9 months) showed complete occlusion (WEB occlusion scale [WOS] A) in 41.4%, near-complete occlusion (WOS B) in 34.5%, a neck remnant (WOS C) in 10.3%, and aneurysm remnants (WOS D) in 13.8%.
conclusionsWEB embolization of very broad-necked aneurysms was technically feasible and could be achieved by WEB only in the majority of cases. Considering the challenging anatomy of very broad-based aneurysms, the WEB procedure was reasonably safe and efficient.
