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

objectivesAs a novel follow-up method for intracranial aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coil embolization (SACE), we developed four-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) with minimized acoustic noise utilizing ultrashort-echo time (4D mUTE-MRA). We aimed to assess whether 4D mUTE-MRA is useful for the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms treated with SACE.

methodsThis study included 31 consecutive patients with intracranial aneurysm treated with SACE who underwent 4D mUTE-MRA at 3 T and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). For 4D mUTE-MRA, five dynamic MRA images with a spatial resolution of 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 mm

resultsOn DSA images, 10 aneurysms were classified as total occlusion, 14 as residual neck, and 7 as residual aneurysm. In terms of aneurysm occlusion status, the intermodality and interobserver agreement was excellent (κ = 0.92 and κ = 0.96, respectively). For the flow in the stents on 4D mUTE-MRA, the mean score was significantly higher for single stents than multiple stents (p < .001) and for open-cell type stents than closed-cell type (p < .01).

conclusions4D mUTE-MRA is a useful tool with a high spatial and temporal resolution for the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms treated with SACE. KEY POINTS: • In the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms treated with SACE on 4D mUTE-MRA and DSA, the intermodality and interobserver agreement in aneurysm occlusion status was excellent. • 4D mUTE-MRA shows good to excellent visualization of flow in the stents, especially for cases treated with a single or open-cell stent. • 4D mUTE-MRA can provide hemodynamic information related to embolized aneurysms and the distal arteries to stented parent arteries.
