Review in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07633067 (Safety and Efficacy of Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization for the Treatment of Migraine), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Recent developments in neurointerventional research have seen the emergence of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) as an effective conduit for intra-arterial (IA) therapy for a number of pathologies. Here, we review the anatomical, pathophysiological and experimental basis for utilisation of the MMA for IA treatment of migraine headache. We explore the in-human case literature for the treatment of headaches with IA lidocaine and discuss considerations and challenges for future research.
