Pre-operative embolization of a choroid plexus carcinoma: review of the vascular anatomy.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimThe purpose of this case is to highlight the benefits of preoperative embolization as well as to review the vascular anatomy that needs to be recognized in order to perform pre-operative embolization of choroid plexus tumors.
methodWe achieve this by presenting the case of a 12-month-old female who had symptoms of raised intracranial pressure. MRI demonstrated a large vividly enhancing mass centered within the atria of the right lateral ventricle associated with hydrocephalus in keeping with a choroid plexus tumor.
resultEnlarged anterior and posterior choroidal arteries supplying the tumor were noted on the MRI scan. Pre-operative embolization was performed with NBCA glue via the anterior and posterior choroidal arteries. Subsequently, total surgical resection was achieved with only 200 cc of blood loss. Pathology confirmed a choroid plexus carcinoma.
conclusionPre-operative embolization can be useful in minimizing blood loss during excision of choroid plexus tumors. It is important to understand the anatomy of the anterior and posterior choroidal arteries to perform embolization of these tumors safely.
