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

BackgroundIntracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is a potential cause of ischemic stroke. Treatment of ICAD can include intracranial stenting. There are specifically designed stents for this use-case; however, less is known about the off-label use of the Neuroform Atlas stent. In this study, we describe the outcomes of the Neuroform Atlas stent for treatment of ICAD.MethodsAdult patients with symptomatic ICAD failing best medical treatment undergoing elective intracranial stenting using the Neuroform Atlas stent between November 2018 and March 2021 were included. Patient demographics, procedure-related details and clinical and imaging outcomes were analyzed.ResultsEighteen patients met the inclusion criteria, with a mean follow-up duration of 9.6 ± 6.8 (standard deviation) months. There were two procedure-related mortalities (one massive intracranial hemorrhage and one groin site complication with sepsis). Fifteen patients were alive at the 6-month follow-up, all with satisfactory stent patency on follow-up imaging without any new ischemic events. Modified Rankin Scale at latest follow-up was 1.9 (interquartile range 5).ConclusionIn this single-center consecutive series, intracranial stenting with the Neuroform Atlas stent was a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic ICAD patients failing best medical management.
