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

We report a case of a patient in their 60s with a recurrent posterior communicating artery (PCOM) aneurysm after flow diverter (FD) placement, in whom the antegrade approach was not suitable due to coverage of the aneurysmal neck by the prior FD. Given the dominant configuration of the PCOM and the presence of a narrow but patent P1 segment, a retrograde approach via the posterior circulation was considered feasible. After confirming clinically acceptable flow from the vertebrobasilar system, a Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device was successfully deployed into the aneurysmal sac through the P1-PCOM route, intentionally covering the PCOM origin. Postoperative angiography showed stagnation of flow within the aneurysm, and complete occlusion was confirmed on follow-up angiography at 3 months. This case highlights the potential utility of retrograde WEB deployment for recurrent PCOM aneurysms following FD placement, particularly when PCOM occlusion is acceptable and anatomical access permits.
