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

objectivesThe effect of lateral compression (LC) of the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device on intracranial aneurysm (IA) occlusion and retreatment has not been studied in depth. This study aims to determine the effect of LC on aneurysm occlusion and retreatment after endovascular treatment with WEB.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed IAs treated with WEB at our institution between February 5th, 2019, and March 31st, 2022. LC was determined in the immediate postdetachment angiogram by measuring the mean implanted WEB width at the equator in two orthogonal projections and subtracting it from the nominal WEB width. LC was then converted to the percentage of nominal WEB width (percent LC [%LC]). Independent predictors of complete and adequate aneurysm occlusion at follow-up and retreatment were determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Optimal %LC thresholds were determined using receiver operating characteristic analysis.

resultsOne hundred and fifty-five IAs were included, with a mean size of 6.4 mm, a mean neck of 3.6 mm, and a mean time to last follow-up of 15.5 months. At last follow-up, complete and adequate aneurysm occlusion was present in 98 (63.2%) and 139 (89.7%) IAs, respectively. Twelve IAs were retreated (7.7%). %LC was the strongest independent predictor of complete and adequate aneurysm occlusion at first and last follow-up and an independent predictor of aneurysm retreatment. Optimal %LC thresholds for complete and adequate aneurysm occlusion at first follow-up were >17.1% and >15.7%, respectively. Compared with IAs in which these thresholds were not attained, IAs in which these thresholds were attained had significantly higher rates of complete (31% vs 68%,

conclusionLC is the strongest independent predictor of aneurysm occlusion in IAs treated with WEB.
