Usefulness of preoperative three-dimensional volumetric analysis of carotid body tumors.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purposeThe Shamblin classification is the commonest method to predict complications and outcomes during carotid body tumor (CBT) resection. The aim of this study is to describe the utility of the three-dimensional volumetric reconstruction (3DVR) analysis of the CBT and its relationship with postoperative outcomes.
methodsPreoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) was obtained to perform 3DVR of the CBT. Imaging data were analyzed and correlated with surgical outcomes: estimated blood loss (EBL), surgical time (ST), and hospital length of stay (HLOS). The Pearson test was used to determine the correlation between volume and postoperative outcomes.
resultsFifty-seven patients were studied, 13 had Shamblin type I tumors with a mean 3DVR of 7.69 cm
conclusionThe preoperative 3DVR determination of CBTs allows to analyze possible predictors of surgical outcomes. We found a positive correlation between the 3DVR volume and EBL. Further research is necessary to validate this method in the evaluation of these rare neoplasms.
