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

backgroundThe present study reports a multicenter experience of using hydrophilic polymer-coated (HPC) flow diverters (FDs) with prasugrel single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) to treat posterior circulation aneurysms (PCAs).

methodsA prospectively maintained database was retrospectively reviewed to identify all cases of intracranial PCA treated with HPC-coated FDs under SAPT (prasugrel). The clinical presentation and outcomes, periprocedural and postprocedural complications, and degree of occlusion at follow-up (FU) were evaluated.

resultsA total of 74 patients were treated (45.9% female). Ischemic complications were experienced by two patients (2.7%) and were dependent on the use of FDs. No cases of aneurysm rupture or hemorrhagic complications related to antiplatelet therapy or the FD treatment were recorded. The rate of complete occlusion was 77.9% in the early FU period (3-6 months) and 90.3% in the initial 12-month period.

conclusionIn this single-arm retrospective study, HPC-coated FDs with prasugrel SAPT were associated with high safety in the treatment of ruptured and unruptured PCA and high occlusion rates at early- and mid-term FU.
