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.
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: Delayed ischemic stroke (DIS) is a rare complication that may occur in patients with cerebral aneurysms treated with the Pipeline Embolization device (PED). This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of DIS following PED placement and to investigate the optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in relation to the incidence of DIS. Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study on consecutive cases of intracranial aneurysms treated with PED. Patients were divided into two groups based on the timing of DAPT switching to monotherapy: early (<6 months) and late (≥6 months). To adjust for potential biases between the groups, inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was applied. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression were used to calculate cumulative DIS rates, and risk factors for DIS. Results: A total of 1,146 consecutive patients with 1,296 aneurysms were included, of whom 12 (0.96%) who received PED developed DIS. The late-switch group had a lower DIS rate compared to the early-switch group [0.5% (4 of 752 patients) vs. 2.0% (8 of 394 patients), Conclusion: DIS is a rare complication among patients treated with PED for cerebral aneurysms. Extending the duration of DAPT to at least six months may safer for the patients with hypertension and immediate complete occlusion.
