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 PurposePediatric neurointerventional radiology is an evolving subspecialty with growing indications and technological advancement such as miniaturization of devices and decreased radiation dose. The ability to perform these procedures is continuously balanced with necessity given the inherently higher risks of radiation and cerebrovascular injury in infants. The purpose of this study is to review our institution's neurointerventional experience in infants less than one year of age to elucidate trends in this patient population.MethodsWe retrospectively identified 132 patients from a neurointerventional database spanning 25 years (1997-2022) who underwent 226 procedures. Treatment type, indication, and location as well as patient demographics were extracted from the medical record.ResultsNeurointerventional procedures were performed as early as day of life 0 in a patient with an arteriovenous shunting malformation. Average age of intervention in the first year of life is 5.9 months. Thirty-eight of 226 procedures were completed in neonates. Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for the treatment of retinoblastoma comprised 36% of neurointerventional procedures completed in infants less than one year of age followed by low flow vascular malformations (21.2%), vein of Galen malformations (11.5%), and dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) (9.3%). Less frequent indications include non-Galenic pial AVF (4.4%) and tumor embolization (3.0%). The total number of interventions has increased secondary to the onset of retinoblastoma treatment in 2010 at our institution.ConclusionThe introduction of IAC for the treatment of retinoblastoma in the last decade is the primary driver for the increased trend in neurointerventional procedures completed in infants from 1997 to 2022.
