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

ObjectiveThe development of new flow-diverting devices with antithrombotic coatings may result in an improved safety profile, particularly a reduction in ischaemic stroke rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate our initial experience with the recently introduced coated Derivo® 2heal® Embolization Device (Acandis, Pforzheim, Germany).MethodsThis is a retrospective, single-centre analysis of patients with intracranial aneurysms undergoing Derivo® 2heal® Embolization Device treatment. Patient and aneurysm characteristics, procedural parameters, complications, and degree of initial and short-term aneurysm occlusion were evaluated on an intention-to-treat basis.ResultsA total of 16 unruptured aneurysms in 9 patients were treated with the Derivo® 2heal® Embolization Device in 10 treatment sessions. In one case the Derivo® 2heal® Embolization Device could not be deployed due to severe friction in the microcatheter. In all successful cases, one Derivo® 2heal® Embolization Device was sufficient to treat the target aneurysm and no additional coiling was performed. In-stent balloon angioplasty was performed in one procedure (10%) to improve vessel wall apposition. Twelve arterial side branches were covered in 9 procedures and all were patent at the end of the procedure. There were no clinical complications and no thromboembolic events during treatment. At the end of the procedure, contrast retention was observed in 13/16 (81%) aneurysms and at short-term follow-up, 6/9 (67%) were completely occluded.ConclusionsThe preliminary results of the new Derivo® 2heal® Embolization Device appear promising and warrant further evaluation by multicentre studies with long-term follow-up.
