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

Intracranial wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms are challenging to treat with conventional endovascular coiling and stenting techniques. Flow diverting devices can provide adequate neck coverage but risk branch vessel ischemia or stroke. We report the case of a 49-year-old man with an incidental wide-neck internal carotid artery terminus aneurysm, treated successfully with a stand-alone eCLIPs implant-a novel hybrid stent-like device that preserves flow across the parent arteries. At 5 months of follow-up, diagnostic angiography demonstrated complete aneurysm occlusion, and the patient remained neurologically intact. In carefully selected cases of shallow wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms, stand-alone eCLIPs device treatment may be considered as an alternative to standard flow diversion, particularly when the patency of branch or perforating vessels is paramount.
