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 Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is an established endovascular treatment method for wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the reference standard for posttreatment evaluation; however, its invasive nature limits its repeated use. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility of intravenous cone-beam computed tomography (IVCBCT) and DSA in the follow-up of aneurysms treated with the WEB device.

methodsThis prospective single-center study included 16 patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms who were treated with the WEB device. All patients underwent both DSA and IVCBCT at the 6‑month follow-up, performed on the same day. Aneurysm occlusion status was independently evaluated by two experienced neuroradiologists using the 8‑point modified Bicêtre Occlusion Scale Score (BOSS). Intermodality and interobserver agreement were assessed using Cohen's kappa statistics.

resultsComplete agreement between IVCBCT and DSA was observed in all 16 cases (κ = 1.0 for both raters). Interobserver agreement for IVCBCT grading was also excellent (κ = 0.86). The BOSS distribution for IVCBCT was as follows: grade 0 or 0' in eight cases (50.0%), grade 1 in five cases (31.3%), grade 2 in two cases (12.5%), and grade 3 in one case (6.2%). IVCBCT demonstrated consistent diagnostic performance across various occlusion grades.

conclusionIVCBCT offers a reliable, noninvasive alternative to DSA for the follow-up of WEB-treated aneurysms, providing excellent diagnostic concordance and reproducibility.
