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

This case report highlights the use of the LEONIS Mova, a steerable microcatheter, to facilitate Woven Endo-Bridge device (WEB) deployment in a cerebral aneurysm case. An 85-year-old man with a left posterior communicating artery aneurysm underwent successful WEB placement using the LEONIS Mova, which was prebent outside the body and fine-tuned inside. This approach allowed for precise navigation and stable deployment. The LEONIS Mova's dual-direction 180° steering capability proved advantageous over single-direction devices, such as the Bendit. While promising, the report acknowledges limitations due to its single-case nature and the unpredictability of catheter behavior in complex anatomy. Further studies are needed.
