Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization for the Management of Chronic Subdural Hematomas: A New-Old Treatment.

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
Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is defined as a subdural collection of blood on CT imaging that tends to persist and gradually increase in volume over time, with components that are hypodense or isodense compared to the brain. There are no proven guidelines for the management of patients with cSDH. Surgical approaches included burr hole, twist drill hole, and craniotomy-based evacuations. Outcomes after surgical removal is generally favorable, but cSDH tends to recur after the initial evacuation.Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization has been gaining increasing popularity among the treatments of cSDH. This is largely due to a growing population of patients with cSDH who are refractory to other treatments or in patients who present with multiple comorbidities or who are taking antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications. The goal of middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization is to devascularize subdural membranes associated with SDH so that the balance between continued leakage and reabsorption is shifted toward reabsorption.We discuss our clinical and technical approach to cSDH treated with perioperative embolization of the MMA.
