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

backgroundCrossing Y-stent-assisted coiling (CYSAC) is a feasible yet technically challenging technique for the treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs).

objectiveTo present mid-term results of Y-stent-assisted coiling (YSAC) using the LVIS EVO stent and to describe our "drill turn" technique for stent crossing.

methodsThis retrospective, observational study included 37 consecutive patients treated with YSAC using LVIS EVO stents at five centres between September 2020 and March 2023.

resultsImmediately after treatment, 31 of the 37 patients (83.8%) achieved Raymond-Roy occlusion classification (RROC) Class I occlusion, while 5 patients (13.5%) had Class II and 1 patient (2.7%) had Class III occlusion. The mean follow-up period was 32.8 months (range: 11-41 months), and all patients underwent follow-up imaging after ≥ 6 months. On follow-up imaging, 34 patients (92%), including all those with immediate RROC Class I occlusion, 2 with Class II, and 1 with Class III, showed Class I occlusion. One patient with RROC Class II occlusion demonstrated a gradual decrease in residual filling, while one large partially thrombosed middle cerebral artery aneurysm and one large basilar tip aneurysm (8%) with residual neck filling remained unchanged on the 6-month digital subtraction angiograph.

conclusionUtilizing the described drill turn technique, CYSAC with LVIS EVO stents was found to be feasible and safe for WNBA treatment, with high and stable occlusion rates observed during mid-term follow-up.
