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

purposeNon-geometric wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs) present with treatment challenges of unfavorable neck morphology at bifurcation sites combined with irregular saccular geometry. While microsurgical clipping remains the traditional standard treatment, unsuitable candidates often require endovascular alternatives. We developed the WEVO technique, combining a volumetrically matched Woven EndoBridge (WEB) placement with a LVIS EVO braided stent deployment to achieve device stabilization and neck reconstruction with enhanced metal coverage.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of 21 patients treated for non-geometric WNBAs. Patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, procedural parameters, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. The LVIS EVO stent was deployed using a "shouldering" technique to compress stent cells across the aneurysm neck. All patients received dual antiplatelet therapy. Aneurysm occlusion was assessed using the WEB Occlusion Scale (WOS) at 3 to 6 months and at 12 months.

resultsMedian age was 71 (IQR: 64-76); 71% were female. All aneurysms were unruptured with median volume 81.4 mm

conclusionThe WEVO technique provides a safe and effective endovascular treatment option for non-geometric WNBAs by combining intrasaccular flow disruption with neck scaffolding and increased metal coverage.
