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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesCerebral aneurysms are the major cause of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, and a common treatment is endovascular embolization. Aneurysmal recurrence after embolization is frequent, and clinical follow-up to monitor for this is critical to prevent subarachnoid hemorrhage. Herein, we assess demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with poor clinical follow-up to determine which patients are at high risk of loss to follow-up.

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed of 937 patients who underwent endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms at a single center from 2006 to 2017. Attendance at follow-up visits for 5 years after treatment was correlated with various demographic and socioeconomic factors. Follow-up for patients who initially presented with unruptured vs ruptured aneurysms was also compared.

resultsThe most significant factors associated with poor follow-up were lack of insurance and non-English-speaking status. Noninsured patients had significantly less follow-up in both mean number of follow-up visits (2.5 ± 1.7 visits for insured patients and 1.0 ± 1.2 visits for noninsured,

conclusionDemographics and socioeconomic factors, particularly lack of insurance and non-English-speaking status, are correlated with poor clinical follow-up after endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Patients at high risk of loss to follow-up should be counseled before treatment about risk of aneurysm recurrence.
