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

The Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support EVO stent enables full fluoroscopic visualization and provides higher metal coverage than conventional devices used to assist coil embolization of wide-neck unruptured intracranial aneurysms. We conducted a prospective multicenter clinical trial to assess its efficacy and safety in stent-assisted coil embolization. A total of 41 patients were enrolled across 6 centers. The primary endpoint of clinical success was achieved in 39 of 40 implanted cases (97.5%; 95% confidence interval, 86.8%-99.9%). These findings demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support EVO as an assist stent for wide-neck aneurysms. Given that concerns remain regarding thrombotic risk with small-diameter devices (2.5-3.0 mm), a subgroup analysis comparing the results of small-diameter Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support EVO (2.5-3.0 mm) versus those of larger Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support EVO (3.5-4.0 mm) was conducted. Fifteen cases were included in the small-diameter group, and 25 were included in the comparative group. Ischemic events occurred in 1 of 15 (6.7%) patients in the small-diameter group and in 2 of 25 (8.0%) patients in the larger-diameter group, with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups, and all events were transient or asymptomatic. At 6 months, 13 of 14 (92.9%) patients in the small-diameter group achieved complete occlusion (Raymond-Roy Class I, core laboratory adjudicated). Overall, small-diameter Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support EVO did not confer a significantly higher risk of ischemic complications compared with larger-diameter devices and demonstrated favorable therapeutic potential for the treatment of wide-neck aneurysms. Trial registration: jRCT2042230075.
