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

purposeHemodynamics play an important role in the assessment of intracranial aneurysm (IA) development and rupture risk. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of complex vasculatures onto the intra-vessel and intra-aneurysmal blood flow.

methodsComplex segmentation of a subject-specific, 60-outlet and 3-inlet circle of Willis model captured with 7T magnetic resonance imaging was performed. This model was trimmed to a 10-outlet model version. Two patient-specific IAs were added onto both models yielding two pathological versions, and image-based blood flow simulations of the four resulting cases were carried out. To capture the differences between complex and trimmed model, time-averaged and centerline velocities were compared. The assessment of intra-saccular blood flow within the IAs involved the evaluation of wall shear stresses (WSS) at the IA wall and neck inflow rates (NIR).

resultsLower flow values are observed in the majority of the complex model. However, at specific locations (left middle cerebral artery 0.5 m/s, left posterior cerebral artery 0.25 m/s), higher flow rates were visible when compared to the trimmed counterpart. Furthermore, at the centerlines the total velocity values reveal differences up to 0.15 m/s. In the IAs, the reduction in the neck inflow rate and WSS in the complex model was observed for the first IA (IA-A δNIRmean =  - 0.07ml/s, PCA.l δWSSmean =  - 0.05 Pa). The second IA featured an increase in the neck inflow rate and WSS (IA-B δNIRmean = 0.04 ml/s, PCA.l δWSSmean = 0.07 Pa).

conclusionBoth the magnitude and shape of the flow distribution vary depending on the model's complexity. The magnitude is primarily influenced by the global vessel model, while the shape is determined by the local structure. Furthermore, intra-aneurysmal flow strongly depends on the location in the vessel tree, emphasizing the need for complex model geometries for realistic hemodynamic assessment and rupture risk analysis.
