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: Coil embolization and surgical clipping are among the treatment options for acutely ruptured cerebral aneurysms. However, wide-neck aneurysms may necessitate stent placement, introducing dual antiplatelet therapy risks during subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) intrasaccular device provides a unique solution for wide-neck aneurysms that does not require dual antiplatelet therapy. Case Description: This case report details a 56-year-old male with a recurrent basilar tip aneurysm, treated with three WEB devices. He presented with Hunt Hess grade 4 SAH and underwent initial embolization with a WEB 9 × 7.6 mm. He made a significant recovery, but recurrence of the aneurysm base was observed after 6 months. He underwent embolization with a second WEB 7 × 5.6 mm. A year later, follow-up angiography revealed a recurrence of the aneurysm base yet again, and he underwent embolization with a third WEB 5 × 3 mm. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the application of the WEB for a ruptured aneurysm, obviating the need for dual antiplatelet therapy and minimizing the risks of re-rupture and extraventricular drain complications. It also demonstrates the technical feasibility of deploying three WEB devices in the same aneurysm, providing a strategy for challenging aneurysm recurrence. The WEB offers a safe approach for intrasaccular flow disruption with satisfactory occlusion rates for recurrent aneurysms.
