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

The flow diverter (FD) device has become a feasible and effective option for treating intracranial aneurysms. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tubridge FD (TFD) in treating intracranial aneurysms and provide evidence for further research and clinical application. Electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception to July 31, 2022, were searched. The eligible studies should include TFD investigations in treating intracranial aneurysms. Pooled technical success rate, complete occlusion rate, improvement rate, stable rate, symptom elimination rate, and adverse events rate were calculated with either the fixed-effects model or the random-effects model, depending on the results of tests for heterogeneity. Egger's tests were performed to assess the potential publication bias. A total of 7 studies (145 patients) were included in this study. The pooled technical success rate was 0.98, the complete occlusion rate was 0.79, the improvement rate was 0.21, and the stable rate was 0.05. One included study reported that the surgery-related mortality rate in the Tubridge group was higher than that in the control group (3.66% vs. 1.61%), while the surgery-related morbidity rate in the Tubridge group was 2.4% and that in the control group was 0. Findings of this meta-analysis indicate that TFD manifests promising and effective performance with acceptable adverse events in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
