Scalp necrosis following preoperative endovascular embolisation of the superficial temporal artery for meningioma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A woman in her late 50s with a left frontal lobe convexity meningioma underwent an elective endovascular embolisation of the left middle meningeal artery and distal branches of the left superficial temporal artery prior to surgical resection of the tumour. On postoperative day 46, she developed scalp necrosis, leading to poor wound healing requiring wound debridement and a complex plastic surgery reconstruction with a rotational flap. Endovascular embolisation of vascular tumours prior to surgical resection does not come without risks. The lack of consistency in the literature regarding indication, technique and outcomes makes it difficult to define the exact role of preoperative meningioma embolisation.
