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

Although direct bypass is effective at preventing intracranial hemorrhage in moyamoya disease, the optimal strategy for achieving this purpose has rarely been addressed. The tailored targeting bypass strategy is a novel technical modification of direct bypass focused on hemorrhage prevention. The strategy is based on the promising theory of periventricular anastomosis, which explains the mechanism of hemorrhage in moyamoya disease. The strategy is defined as the use of multi-imaging modalities to predetermine in a tailored manner a target vessel at the point at which the medullary artery directly extends from the periventricular anastomosis of interest. Direct bypass with a wide craniotomy was performed on 13 hemispheres in eight patients according to this strategy. Marked shrinkage of the periventricular anastomosis of interest was observed in all but one hemisphere after surgery, and no new hemorrhages have occurred as of this writing. The present case series illustrates the technical aspects and preliminary results of the tailored targeting bypass strategy, an approach that might expand the potential of direct bypass in preventing hemorrhage.
