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

Background: Treatment of vertebral artery fusiform aneurysms (VAFAs) is complex and controversial. This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy between flow diverter and conventional stents in patients with VAFAs undergoing endovascular stent-alone treatment (SAT). Methods: Thirty-six patients with 36 VAFAs who underwent SAT between January 2014 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patient and aneurysm characteristics, procedural details, complications, and angiographic and clinical outcomes were compared between flow diverter stent patients ( Results: More branches covered with stent were found in the conventional stent group (88.9 vs. 33.3%; Conclusions: SAT was safe and effective in patients with VAFAs. Flow diverter stents are associated with a significantly better complete occlusion rate than conventional stents; however, they are also associated with an increased risk of parent artery stenosis.
