Gamma knife radiosurgery cured hydrocephalus in non-hemorrhagic brain stem arteriovenous malformation.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
A 13-year-old boy, with a history of intermittent headache and transient diplopia, was found to have non-hemorrhagic cerebral arteriovenous malformation in the midbrain tegmental region associated with hydrocephalus. Gamma knife radiosurgery was performed at 16 Gy with 75% marginal dose. Posttreatment course was uneventful. Follow-up MR imaging at one year after the treatment revealed complete disappearance of the abnormal vascular flow voids. The size of each ventricle at the treatment and at one year after treatment were as follows; 60.2 cc and 20.9 cc in the lateral ventricles, 3.7 cc and 2.7 cc in the third ventricle. The hydrocephalus might be caused by obstructive mechanism but mostly by high venous pressure due to the shunt blood flow. The goal of treatment for hydrocephalus should be nidus obstruction and normalizing the vascular flow.
