Resorbable Purified Porcine Skin Gelatin Cross-Linked with Glutaraldehyde Spheres for Preoperative Embolization of Carotid Body Paraganglioma.

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
Chemodectomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that typically arise at the carotid bifurcation and progressively englobe the internal and external carotid artery. Surgical asportation of the capsulated mass is the elective treatment. Pre-procedural embolization of this high vascular tumors is highly recommended because it has shown to improve surgical outcome by reducing both, mean blood loss and total operation time. Many different embolization techniques have been described in literature. In the here presented case we opted for an endovascular approach using resorbable purified porcine skin gelatin cross-linked with glutaraldehyde microspheres (Optisphere - MEDTRONIC) as an embolic agent. These turned out to be very safe and effective in improving surgical outcome by reducing operative blood loss and thus reducing treatment-related morbidity.
