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

objectiveTo compare the safety, efficacy, and prognosis of stent-assisted coiling (SAC) versus coiling alone (CA) in the treatment of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms (ACoAAs).

methodsThe clinical and follow-up data of ruptured ACoAAs treated with endovascular treatment in our center from January 2011 to January 2021 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into an SAC group and a CA group based on whether stents were used, after which the two groups were matched for propensity scores. The general clinical data, embolization effect, perioperative complications, clinical, and follow-up results after matching were compared.

resultsA total of 354 patients were enrolled, of whom 147 patients (41.5%) received SAC and the rest received CA. Comparison baseline of two groups showed that patients with a larger diameter, wide neck, irregular morphology, and anterior direction were more likely to receive SAC. After propensity score matching, 113 patients were included in each group. Immediately postoperative angiography results showed that the complete embolization rate of patients in the SAC group was significantly lower than that in the CA group (62.8% vs. 76.1%, p = 0.03). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of perioperative complications, mortality, poor prognosis at discharge or follow-up, mid-term complete occlusion rate and recurrence rate.

conclusionThe stent-assisted treatment of ruptured ACoAAs did not increase the risk of perioperative complications or the probability of poor prognosis, indicating that SAC treatment of ruptured ACoAAs is safe and feasible and has a reliable mid-term cure rate.
