Coil embolization alone appears sufficient for middle meningeal artery embolization.
Article 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. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BackgroundMiddle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has shown promise as an alternative treatment for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH); however, the most effective procedural technique is debated. We sought to assess the safety and efficacy of coil embolization as a stand-alone technique for MMAE in cSDH.MethodsA single-center retrospective analysis was performed of patients who underwent MMAE for chronic SDH with coil embolization alone.ResultsForty-five patients were included in the study. All underwent successful stand-alone coil MMAE, of which 51.1% were bilateral. Indications for MMAE were varied, but 13.3% of patients required ongoing anticoagulation and another 11.1% had severe thrombocytopenia. Conscious sedation or no sedation was used in 73.2% of patients; 10 patients (22.2%) were scheduled electively and discharged same day. There were no severe or minor procedural complications identified. Of the 45 patients, only 3 (6.6%) underwent unplanned repeat surgical intervention: one patient developed a large recurrence at eight weeks after MMAE and underwent burr hole drainage; the second patient received burr hole drainage prior to MMAE but needed repeat burr hole drainage two weeks later due to residual; the third patient received two burr hole drainages at two and three weeks post MMAE due to persistent disease.ConclusionStand-alone MMAE with coiling can be performed under conscious sedation as an outpatient procedure and may be sufficient to prevent cSDH recurrence in most cases without the need for particle penetration of cSDH microvascular beds. Larger confirmatory studies are necessary.
