Indirect revascularization vs. non-surgical treatment for Moyamoya disease and Moyamoya syndrome: A comparative effectiveness study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The efficacy of indirect revascularization vs. non-surgical treatment in adults with Moyamoya disease (MMD) and Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) remains controversial. Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of indirect revascularization and non-surgical treatments in adult patients with MMD and MMS. Methods: We collected medical records and follow-up results of adult patients with MMD and MMS who received treatment in the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University between January 2019 and December 2021. A Shapiro-Wilk test, independent sample Results: A total of 144 patients were included in this study, of whom 37 received indirect revascularization treatment and 107 received non-surgical treatment. The average age of the patients was 58.3 ± 13.4 years. Perioperative complications were observed in eight of the operations. During the follow-up period, a total of 35 stroke events occurred, including two cases (5.4%) in the surgery group and 33 cases (30.8%) in the non-surgery group ( Conclusion: Indirect revascularization surgery can significantly reduce the recurrent stroke incidence of MMD and MMS patients.
