Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization for the Management of Chronic Subdural Hematoma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) results from neovascularization of the subdural capsular membrane and embolization of the Middle Meningeal Artery (MMA) helps inhibit the same and prevent recurrence. Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed the endovascular management for chronic SDH in 29 patients between 2018 to 2022. The parameters analyzed were clinical history, radiologic imaging findings, procedure details, and angiographic and clinical outcomes. Results Twenty-nine MMA embolization procedures were done. Follow-up MRI or CT done in 28 subjects, showed complete resolution in 25 patients and a significant reduction in bilateral SDH in three patients. One patient died due to renal failure and aspiration pneumonia-related complications. Ninety days mRS (modified Rankin scale) was 0 in 25 patients (86%), one in two patients, and two in one patient. Conclusions MMA embolization for chronic SDH is a feasible, safe, and effective technique in patients with chronic and recurrent SDH.
