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

objectiveThis study aimed to develop an end-to-end intelligent decision support system, NeurAneuNet, to automate the selection of Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) size and landing zones for intracranial aneurysm treatment, thereby reducing reliance on operator experience and improving planning consistency.

methodsNeurAneuNet integrates multimodal deep learning with knowledge enhancement. The system processes three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) images using a dual-path attention U-Net++ for aneurysm segmentation, extracts knowledge-augmented geometric and clinical features, fuses five feature modalities via tensor decomposition, and predicts optimal PED sizing and landing zones with a high-order Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN). A dataset of 600 aneurysms (including 210 PED-treated cases) was used for model development and validation, with an independent clinical cohort of 21 cases employed to assess real-world utility.

resultsNeurAneuNet achieved a Dice coefficient of 0.874 ± 0.03 for aneurysm segmentation, a PED size classification accuracy of 91.8%, and a diameter prediction error of 0.24 ± 0.10 mm. In the independent test, its primary recommendation agreed with the expert consensus in 95.2% of cases. When assisting clinicians, the system reduced planning time by 44.8% and significantly lowered subjective cognitive workload, as assessed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) score (from 33 ± 8 to 21 ± 5).

conclusionNeurAneuNet demonstrates clinically relevant accuracy and efficiency in automating PED treatment planning, providing robust, intelligent support for intracranial aneurysm interventions. The system provides a promising foundation for developing a generalizable AI-driven decision support framework in complex medical scenarios.
