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

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic, progressive cerebrovascular disease involving the occlusion or stenosis of the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the proximal anterior and middle cerebral arteries. Adults with MMD have been shown to progressively accumulate neurological and cognitive deficits without treatment, with a mortality rate double that of pediatric patients with MMD. Surgical intervention is the mainstay of treatment to prevent disease progression and improve clinical outcomes. Several different types of bypasses can be utilized for revascularization in MMD, including indirect, direct, and combined forms of extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass. Overall, the choice of appropriate technique requires consideration of the age of the patient, preoperative hemodynamics, neurologic status, and territories most at risk and in need of revascularization. Here, we will review the indications and surgical techniques for the treatment of adult MMD. Step-by-step instructions for performing several bypass variants with technical pearls are discussed.
