1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Epilepsy is a common symptom of pediatric cavernous malformations. In medically refractory patients, surgery can achieve high seizure freedom rates with low morbidity. This video depicts the use of a minipterional craniotomy and transsulcal resection of a frontal opercular cavernous malformation in a 13-year-old female with medically intractable epilepsy. At 1-year follow-up, she was evaluated as Engel class I with a significant improvement in her quality of life. Principles of cavernous malformation resection for the treatment of epilepsy are also reviewed. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2024.4.FOCVID2441.
