Comparison of the Physical Characteristics of Support Stents for Cerebral Aneurysm Embolization.

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.
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: There is a limited understanding of the characteristics of individual intracranial stents used for aneurysm treatment. We used an experimental model to evaluate the physical characteristics of support stents for aneurysm embolization. Methods: Enterprise 2 VRD 4.0 × 39 mm, Neuroform Atlas 4.5 × 21 mm, and LVIS 4.5 × 32 mm stents were: 1) observed under light microscopy and subjected to measurements of 2) circumferential radial force, 3) strut tension, 4) stent compression, and 5) conformability upon bending. Results: 1) Light microscopy showed a large structural difference between laser-cut (Enterprise 2 VRD, Neuroform Atlas) and braided (LVIS) stents. 2) Within the range of indicated blood vessel diameters, the radial force of Enterprise 2 VRD was higher than that of Neuroform Atlas. An extremely large force was required to decrease the LVIS diameter. 3) Neuroform Atlas easily deformed compared to Enterprise 2 VRD, while LVIS was extended with a smaller traction force than that required for Neuroform Atlas. 4) The compression strength was in the order of Enterprise 2 VRD >Neuroform Atlas >LVIS. 5) Enterprise 2 VRD showed a decreased cell area on the concave side, and Neuroform Atlas showed deformation with overlapping struts on the concave side. LVIS naturally adhered to the wall of the blood vessel model. Conclusion: Laser-cut and braided stents showed different physical characteristics that were visualized and shown as numerical data. These findings improve the understanding of the proper use of these stents in clinical applications.
