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

backgroundEndovascular treatment of internal carotid artery (ICA) pathology includes reconstructive or deconstructive options. One reconstructive option is covered stent placement, although this is limited by a lack of devices designed specifically for neurointervention. The PK Papyrus is a balloon-mounted covered coronary stent that has a lower profile and is more flexible than other stent grafts, which makes it more suitable for treating ICA lesions. OBSERVATIONS: The PK Papyrus was used to treat patients with iatrogenic cavernous ICA injury and symptomatic cervical ICA pseudoaneurysms. In both cases, the stent could be easily delivered without the use of an intermediate catheter or stiff microwire. Stent deployment resulted in immediate angiographic resolution of the pathology, and there were no peri- or postoperative complications. LESSONS: The PK Papyrus covered coronary stent is a good option for treating cervical and cavernous carotid pathology. Its single-layer design makes it more flexible and deliverable than other stent grafts, but additional case series are needed. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24517.
