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

background and purposeThe Woven EndoBridge (WEB) system has established itself as a safe and effective option for managing wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. Addressing aneurysms with a greater height than width using conventional WEB-sizing methods has proved ineffective due to the inherent configuration of the devices. To overcome this limitation, we propose an intuitive approach that involves swapping the width and height dimensions of the aneurysm to determine the appropriate WEB size. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing WEB embolization at a single neuroscience center from March 2013 to February 2023.

resultsTwenty-five eligible aneurysms were identified, with the height dimension exceeding the width by an average of 2.33 mm (ranging from 1.4 to 4.5 mm). Of these, 20 cases adhered to the recommended sizing technique, resulting in a 100% success rate of adequate occlusion (14/20 complete occlusion, 6/20 proximal recess filling). In contrast, the outcomes for the remaining 5 cases that did not follow the proposed sizing method were less favorable (

conclusionsThe simple sizing method we proposed for treating taller-than-wide aneurysms has demonstrated promising results, allowing the WEB system to address twice the original size range of treatable aneurysms. Further research with a larger sample size is recommended.
