Contour device implantation for treatment of intracranial aneurysms in the basilar tip.

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.
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
IntroductionTreatment of basilar apex aneurysms will remain challenging regarding the nobility of the parent vessel and their often wide-necked configuration. With endovascular techniques being the treatment approach of choice, novel intrasaccular flow-disruption devices constitute an endovascular embolization option. In this research, we report our experiences in embolizing basilar tip aneurysms with the novel Contour device.Material and methodsRetrospective analysis of eight patients after Contour implantation into a basilar apex aneurysm. Periprocedural data on intervention times, radiation dose, procedural success and complications were gathered. All patients received follow-up digital subtraction angiography after six months. Further follow-up examination results were analysed given their availability.ResultsContour implantation was successful in all patients. The mean device instrumentation time was 18.8 ± 7.7 min with a mean full intervention time of 100 ± 65.8 min. The mean full procedure radiation dose was 1917 (421-5107) cGy/cm
