Effect of susceptibility-weighted imaging on preoperative evaluation of microvascular decompression in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

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
objectiveTo assess the effectiveness of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in displaying the superior petrosal vein complex (SPVC) and the role of venous three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction in visualizing the anatomical relationship in patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN).
methodsA total of 30 patients with primary TN who received treatment between September 2019 and December 2020 were enrolled prospectively in this study. All patients were examined with fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition (Fiesta), three-dimensional time of flight (3D-TOF) and SWI by the same technician. Image analysis was performed by 2 physicians. 3D reconstruction of nerves, arteries, and veins was performed with 3dslicer and compared with intraoperative findings. The general characteristics, vein description in MRI, and the composition of SPVC types were also compared.
resultsThe display effect of SPVC in SWI was significantly better than that in Fiesta and 3D-TOF (
conclusionThe SPVC can be clearly displayed by SWI. 3D reconstruction of the vein can accurately display the anatomical relationship between the trigeminal nerve and SPVC.
