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

backgroundTraditionally, cerebral arteriovenous malformations (cAVMs) are surgically treated with microscopy, and no cases receive full neuroendoscopy. We operated on two small cAVMs with hematoma under a neuroendoscope, and the two patients obtained excellent results.

objectiveTo explore the feasibility of treating cAVMs with a full transcranial neuroendoscopic approach.

methodsThe clinical data and operative techniques were collected and described for two patients who were diagnosed with cAVMs with hematoma and treated via a full transcranial neuroendoscopic approach.

resultsIn the two patients, the hematomas were successfully evacuated, and the AVMs were removed simultaneously; both patients had achieved excellent recoveries at discharge.

conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature to successfully treat cAVMs with hematoma with a full transcranial neuroendoscopic approach, showing that this approach is feasible and may be an alternative for small ruptured cAVMs. However, while the feasibility of attempting this approach was demonstrated, it was difficult to certify its obvious advantage. Nevertheless, we believe that this approach might be difficult for middle and large AVMs due to the shortcomings of neuroendoscopy. More cases and practice are needed to confirm the merits and limitations of this new approach for AVMs.
