Microsurgical clipping of ruptured wide-neck Aneurysms: A comparative analysis with Woven EndoBridge data.
Article in Brain & spine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Due to their complex configuration, wide-neck aneurysms (WNAs) present significant challenges. The intrasaccular Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device was introduced in 2010. However, complete occlusion rates with WEB remain relatively low (40-60 %). The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate our institutional experience with microsurgical clipping of ruptured WNAs and to compare these results with a cohort of WNAs treated with the WEB device. Methods: A retrospective study of consecutive adult patients with ruptured WNAs who underwent microsurgical clipping at our institution between 2010 and 2020 was performed. Primary outcome measure was the complete occlusion of the aneurysm equivalent to a Raymond Roy Occlusion Classification (RROC) Class I. Subsequently, our institutional results were then compared with outcomes from the U.S. multicenter WEB study by Cortez et al. Results: 87 patients with ruptured WNBAs were included. The most common aneurysm location was the anterior communicating artery (45/87, 52 %), followed by the middle cerebral artery bifurcation (38/87, 44 %), internal carotid artery terminus (2/87, 2 %), and basilar artery apex (2/87, 2 %). Mean follow-up in our cohort was 22.7 (±29.1) months. The procedure-related morbidity was low in both cohorts, 3.3 % (3/91) in the WEB cohort and 2.3 % (2/87) in our cohort (p = 1.00). However, the complete occlusion rate after microsurgical clipping was significantly higher (94 % (82/87)) compared to WEB (48 % (24/50) (p < 0.001)). Conclusions: The study demonstrates that microsurgical clipping is a safe and effective treatment method for ruptured WNAs aneurysms and that it is superior to WEB in terms of complete aneurysm occlusion.
