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 and purposeThe Woven EndoBridge device (WEB) was introduced for the intrasaccular treatment of wide-neck aneurysms without the need for adjunctive devices. We used the WEB as a primary treatment for 100 ruptured aneurysms regardless of neck size or location. In this study, we present the long-term follow-up of 78 surviving patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsBetween February 2015 and April 2017, one hundred ruptured aneurysms were treated with the WEB. For surviving patients, angiographic and clinical follow-up was scheduled at 3 months, and 3T MRA and clinical follow-up, at 6, 12, 36, and 60 months. Of 100 patients, 18 died during hospital admission, and in 4, the ruptured aneurysm was additionally treated. The remaining 78 patients had a mean follow-up of 51 months (median, 52 months; range, 5-84 months). There were 57 women and 21 men, with a mean age of 58.5 years (median, 59 years; range, 24-80 years). Of 78 aneurysms with long-term follow-up, 52 (66%) had a wide neck.

resultsOf 78 ruptured aneurysms, 56 (72%) remained completely occluded and 17 (22%) had a stable small neck remnant. Five of 78 aneurysms (6%; 95% CI, 2.4%-14.5%) reopened during follow-up and were additionally treated. There were no rebleeds during follow-up.

conclusionsTreatment of ruptured aneurysms with the WEB was safe and effective and has long-term results comparable with those of simple coiling of small-neck aneurysms. The WEB proved to be a valuable alternative to coils for both wide- and small-neck ruptured aneurysms without the need for stents, balloons, or antiplatelet therapy.
