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

Objective: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device (MicroVention, Tustin, CA) has extended the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Despite the fact that the WEB device has shown promising clinical results, little is known about the caused intra-aneurysmal flow alterations. Here we present our clinical experience with the WEB, including examining various syngo iFlow (Siemens AG, Erlangen, Germany) parameters to predict aneurysm occlusion. Methods: We reviewed the data from patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms treated with a WEB device between 2016 and 2020. Aneurysm occlusion and complications were assessed. Furthermore, different quantitative criteria were evaluated using syngo iFlow after digital subtraction angiography. Results: A total of 26 patients hosting 26 cerebral aneurysms met the inclusion criteria. Follow-up was available for 21 patients, with a mean of 7.3 ± 6.3 months. A total of 71.4% (n = 15) of the aneurysms included were located in the anterior and 28.6% (n = 6) in the posterior circulation. Adequate aneurysm occlusion was achieved in 85.7% (n = 18). The iFlow parameters for reduced aneurysm outflow (ID-R) differed significantly from the parameters for reduced inflow (PI-R and PI-D) ( Conclusions: The applied syngo iFlow parameters confirmed that flow changes induced by the WEB device significantly affect outflow compared to inflow and have potential predictive value for adequate aneurysm occlusion.
