Modification of the Middle Cerebral Artery Bifurcation Angle Using a Stiff 0.014-Inch Microguidewire for Enhanced Woven EndoBridge Device Deployment.

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
This report explores the challenges of using the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) for a middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysm and introduces a novel technical approach not previously described in the literature. In a 75-year-old male patient, a stiff microguidewire was used to guide a microcatheter to the distal branch of the middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysm to modify the bifurcation angle, ensuring the WEB's stable placement. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, with magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) confirming the aneurysm's complete disappearance. While the report suggests it as an approach that makes WEB insertion easier by altering the vascular route with only one stiff microwire, it highlights the need for more clinical cases to verify its effectiveness.
