Novel insights into the classification of Shamblin III carotid body tumors from a neurosurgical perspective.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
background and purposeThe classic Shamblin system fails to provide valuable guidance in many Shamblin's III carotid body tumors (III-CBTs) due to the variable forms of carotid arteries and the complex anatomic relationships in parapharyngeal space. We proposed a modified classification to separately divide III-CBTs into different subgroups on the basis of arterial relevant features and anatomical relevant features. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom 2020 to 2023, a total of 129 III-CBTs at a single institution were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were independently classified as arterial-relevant and anatomical-relevant subgroups. The pre-, peri- and postoperative data were summarized and compared accordingly.
resultsAmong the 129 cases, 69 cases were identified as "Classical type", 23 cases as "Medial type", 27 cases as "Lateral type" and 10 cases as "Enveloped type" according to arterial morphologies. Besides, 76 cases were identified as "Common type", 15 cases as "Pharynx- invasion type", 18 cases as "Skull base-invasion type" and 20 cases as "Mixed type" according to anatomical relationships. "Enveloped type" of tumors in arterial-relevant classification and "Mixed type" of tumors in anatomical-relevant classification are the most challenging cases for surgeons with the lowest resection rate, highest incidence of carotid arteries injury and postoperative stroke.
conclusionThe modified classifications provide comprehensive understanding of different III-CBTs which are applicable for individualized treatment in clinical practice.
