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: Subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm (rVADA) is associated with a high frequency of acute rebleeding and requires early treatment following onset. Parent artery occlusion (PAO) or stent-assisted coiling (SAC) embolization is selected as a treatment option according to the individual patient condition. This report is a retrospective examination evaluating the treatment outcomes for rVADA. Methods: The subjects were 20 rVADA patients (16 men and 4 women) who underwent endovascular treatment at our institution. The mean patient age was 52.9 years. Ten patients each were allocated to the PAO group and SAC group. We evaluated and compared the following parameters: presence of hemorrhagic complications, presence of ischemic complications, requirement of retreatment, and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) after 90 days. Results: The reasons for selecting SAC were contralateral occlusion or a small diameter in three patients, the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) involvement in three patients, perforating artery from dissected lesion in five patients, and anterior spinal artery in one patient. There was no rebleeding in any patient. Symptomatic ischemic complications were observed in four patients in the PAO group and in one in the SAC group. Hyper-intense lesions in the brainstem on MRI DWI were noted in five patients in PAO group and in one in the SAC group. Retreatment was required for three patients in the PAO group and for four in the SAC group. Favorable outcomes (GOS 4, 5) after 90 days were observed for three patients in the PAO group and for eight patients in the SAC group (p = 0.0257). Conclusion: SAC that can preserve branches is a useful treatment option for rVADA. Further studies on a greater number of subjects are required to establish the optimal dose of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants, and for stent selection.
