Stereotactic radiosurgery outcome for deep-seated cerebral arteriovenous malformations in the brainstem and thalamus/basal ganglia: systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Deep-seated unruptured AVMs located in the thalamus, basal ganglia, or brainstem have a higher risk of hemorrhage compared to superficial AVMs and surgical resection is more challenging. Our systematic review and meta-analysis provide a comprehensive summary of the stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) outcomes for deep-seated AVMs. This study follows the guidelines set forth by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Statement. We conducted a systematic search in December 2022 for all reports of deep-seated arteriovenous malformations treated with SRS. Thirty-four studies (2508 patients) were included. The mean obliteration rate in brainstem AVM was 67% (95% CI: 0.60-0.73), with significant inter-study heterogeneity (tau
