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 intracranial wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms remains challenging. We report a novel PulseRider "jack-up" technique for the treatment of wide-necked basilar tip aneurysms. Case Description: We performed coil embolization in three patients with an unruptured wide-necked basilar tip aneurysm. Aneurysm neck diameters ranged between 7.6 and 11 mm and dome-to-neck ratios ranged from 1.0 to 1.15. All three aneurysms were very shallow with aspect ratios of 0.51-0.69 and incorporated both posterior cerebral arteries into the aneurysm wall. Because each was difficult to embolize using the standard PulseRider procedure, the PulseRider was deployed more proximally than usual and a coil frame constructed above it. Then, the coil was pushed or "jacked up" into the aneurysm with the PulseRider. Adequate embolization was achieved in all three patients. Conclusion: Coil embolization using the PulseRider jack-up technique is effective for treatment of wide-necked basilar tip aneurysms that incorporate parent arteries.
