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

Objective: Pediatric nonsaccular aneurysms are rare but challenging lesions; pipeline embolization devices (PEDs) are their potential treatment option. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PEDs for treatment of these aneurysms. Methods: We retrospectively selected pediatric patients with nonsaccular aneurysms treated using PEDs between June 2015 and July 2021 from our prospectively maintained database. For each patient, demographics, aneurysm characteristics, procedure details, and clinical and angiographic follow-up data were collected and summarized. Results: This study included 16 pediatric patients with 16 nonsaccular aneurysms treated with PEDs. A median clinical follow-up time of 1,376 days was achieved in 93.75% of the patients. The complication rate of the included patients was 25%, with two patients developing mass effect, one patient undergoing major ischemic stroke, and one patient experiencing stent foreshortening after the procedure. The complete occlusion rate of aneurysms without any neurologic sequelae was 93.33%, with a median angiographic follow-up period of 246 days. The mortality rate was 6.25%. Conclusions: The use of PEDs to treat pediatric nonsaccular aneurysms is feasible, with a high rate of complete occlusion of the aneurysm and favorable follow-up outcomes.
