Middle meningeal artery embolization to treat progressive epidural hematoma: a case report.
Article in Journal of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Progressive epidural hematoma is a form of acute epidural hematoma that gradually expands from a small initial hematoma; in cases that are clinically aggravated due to the presence of a mental illness or neurological condition, patients should be surgically treated for evacuation of the hematoma, but poorer outcomes are expected if the patient has several medical co-morbidities for surgery. We experienced two cases of progressive epidural hematoma which were successfully managed by endovascular treatment: an 85-year-old male with medical co-morbidities and a 51-year-old female with a poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage resulting from the rupture of a dissecting aneurysm of the vertebral artery. In both cases, a middle meningeal artery embolization was performed and contrast leakage was observed and controlled using cerebral angiography, halting the progression of their epidural hematomas. Thus, endovascular embolization of a middle meningeal artery may play a useful role in salvage therapy in certain complicated situations that limit treatment of the hematoma by surgical evacuation.
