A comparison of Atlas and Leo Baby stents-assisted coiling of intracranial aneurysms with small parent vessels.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Some studies have reported the efficacy and safety of the Atlas stent and the Leo Baby stent-assisted coiling (SAC) of intracranial aneurysms arising from small cerebral vessels. The authors aimed to compare the clinical performance of the Atlas and the Leo Baby stents in small parent arteries. Methods and materials: Between January 2019 and November 2022, 56 patients at our centre were treated using either Atlas or Leo Baby SAC of intracranial aneurysms arising from small parent vessels (<2 mm). The clinical and angiographic imaging data of the two cohorts were retrospectively collected and comparatively analyzed. Results: A total of 56 patients were included in this study. Thirty-two patients were treated with the Atlas SAC, and 24 patients were treated with the Leo Baby SAC. The mean age of the Atlas stent cohort was older, and the mean aneurysm size was smaller than the Leo Baby stent. The immediate complete occlusion rate was 68.6% in the Atlas stent cohort and 62.5% in the Leo Baby stent cohort. The mean angiographic follow-up time for Atlas stent cohort was 8.9±2.5 months, and the final aneurysm complete occlusion rate was 81.0%. The mean follow-up time for Leo Baby stent cohort was 18.9±6.0 months, and the final aneurysm complete occlusion rate was 83.3%. Conclusions: At the final follow-up, the Atlas or the Leo baby stent SAC of intracranial aneurysms with small parent vessels resulted in favourable angiographic results and clinical outcomes, with a low rate of associated complications.
