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

purposeThe selection of the appropriate Woven EndoBridge (WEB) size is the most critical aspect of the decision-making process in aneurysm WEB embolization. However, there are currently no precise criteria for measuring WEB size that correspond to each aneurysm. This study presents a process that includes a WEB index for determining the exact volume based on various aneurysm shape types. MATERIALS AND

methodsSixty consecutive aneurysms treated with WEB device were included. The volume measurements of the aneurysms, based on their column configurations, were compared with WEB volume to assess the accuracy of the fit within each aneurysm. After categorizing the aneurysms into symmetric and asymmetric shapes, they were further classified into 5 types according to their configurations. We estimated outcomes, including any events or recurrences, and calculated WEB index (WEB volume/aneurysm volume) along with the median and interquartile range to evaluate differences based on shape type. A statistical analysis was conducted to identify associations between various variables and stenting and/or recurrence.

resultsSymmetric aneurysms (n=39, 65%) were more prevalent than asymmetric aneurysms (n=21, 35%). Among the 5 shape types, the column shape was the most common (n=32, 53%), followed by submarine (n=9, 15%), sphere (n=7, 12%), boots (n=6, 10%), and mitten (n=6, 10%) shapes. The median WEB index was 0.96. Asymmetric aneurysm shapes were associated with stent-assisted procedures (oversizing) (P=0.029) and the presence of sac remnants or recurrence (undersizing) (P=0.033). There were no adverse events reported, except for 1 non-procedure-related death at 7 months and 2 retreatments among 3 recurred aneurysms during a mean magnetic resonance angiography follow-up of 8 months (range, 3-21 months) and a mean clinical follow-up of 12 months (range, 3-30 months).

conclusionOutcome of WEB embolization depended on aneurysm configuration (shape types) and the measurement of aneurysm volume (WEB index).
