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

backgroundEarly residual or recurrent aneurysm filling remains an important limitation after endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms, particularly in large and complex lesions. This study descriptively evaluated 6-month early residual or recurrent filling after coil embolization, stent-assisted coiling, flow-diverting stents, and the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device in a single-center cohort.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 151 patients with 161 intracranial aneurysms treated between January 2019 and July 2023. Follow-up imaging at approximately 6 months was performed using computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography, with digital subtraction angiography when residual filling was suspected. Aneurysm occlusion was evaluated using the Raymond-Roy Occlusion Classification. Clinical, morphological, anatomical, and treatment-related variables associated with early residual or recurrent aneurysm filling were analyzed.

resultsComplete occlusion was achieved in 149 aneurysms (92.5%), whereas early residual or recurrent filling occurred in 12 aneurysms (7.5%). Residual or recurrent filling was observed in 4/35 aneurysms treated with coil embolization (11.4%), 1/58 treated with flow-diverting stents (1.7%), 7/60 treated with the WEB device (11.7%), and none of the 8 aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coiling; overall rates did not differ significantly among treatment modalities (

conclusionsAneurysm height > 10 mm was significantly associated with early residual or recurrent aneurysm filling. No statistically significant difference in early residual or recurrent filling was detected among treatment groups. Given the retrospective design, non-random treatment allocation, heterogeneous aneurysm phenotypes, and non-uniform imaging follow-up, these data should be interpreted as a descriptive institutional experience rather than evidence of comparative superiority or equivalence. The ICA subgroup finding is preliminary and hypothesis-generating.
