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

backgroundBoth low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS)stents and Pipeline flow diverters (FDs) are therapeutic strategies for basilar artery (BA) aneurysms, but they have not been directly compared.

methodsA total of 132 consecutive patients with 139 BA aneurysms treated with either LVIS stent or Pipeline FDs were analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to control for age, sex, hypertension, aneurysm size, shape, location, and duration of follow-up. The treatment results of these two braided stents were compared.

resultsLVIS stent was placed in 88 (63.3%) and Pipeline FDs in 51 (36.7%) procedures. Patients with Pipeline FDs tended to be younger and have less hypertension, whereas aneurysms had larger aneurysm size. After PSM, similar complete or near-complete occlusion rates (76.7% vs 73.3%,

conclusionBoth braided stents were effective in the treatment of BA aneurysms, with good occlusion rates and favorable functional outcomes. Pipeline FD achieved a particularly higher aneurysm occlusion rate than LVIS stent at VBJ, where lesions often require reconstruction of the diseased vessel.
