Intraoperative Challenge: Managing Venous Air Embolism During Sitting Craniotomy.
Article in Cureus, 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
Venous air embolism (VAE) represents a rare yet potentially life-threatening complication encountered during neurosurgical procedures, particularly craniotomy. Here, we present a case of a 30-year-old male undergoing excision of a cerebellar abscess who developed VAE midway through the procedure. Immediate recognition and intervention were paramount in managing the embolism effectively, ensuring a favorable surgical outcome. Vigilant monitoring, prompt cessation of the procedure, and implementation of preventive measures such as oxygen therapy and venous air aspiration were pivotal in mitigating the embolism's effects. This study underscores the critical importance of intraoperative vigilance, preparedness, and multidisciplinary teamwork in addressing rare but potentially catastrophic complications during neurosurgical interventions.
