Table 1_Comparison of the efficacy and safety of flow diversion versus stent-assisted coil

Eighteen retrospective cohort studies involving 1,486 patients compare flow diversion and stent-assisted coiling for posterior circulation aneurysms. The analysis, registered in PROSPERO (No. 1302088), synthesizes outcomes like functional recovery, occlusion, and complication rates. Author Kuerban Maimaitiaili published the results on figshare in April 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Comparing efficacy of flow diversion versus stent-assisted coiling based on pooled risk ratios for outcomes like complete occlusion and recurrence.
• Assessing relative safety of two treatment modalities based on complication and retreatment rates.
• Informing clinical decision-making for posterior circulation aneurysms based on meta-analytic evidence for functional outcomes (mRS 0–2).

Strengths

• Analysis is based on 1,486 patient records aggregated from 18 studies, providing a substantive sample.
• Follows PRISMA guidelines and is registered in PROSPERO (No. 1302088), indicating a structured, transparent methodology.
• Reports specific statistical measures, including risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals and I² heterogeneity scores for multiple outcomes.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is contained in a 64.7 KB DOCX file, which suggests a limited, likely summary-level tabular scope rather than raw patient-level data.
