The difference of functional MR imaging in evaluating outcome of patients with diffuse and compact brain arteriovenous malformation.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Microsurgical resection is an effective method to treat brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can evaluate the spatial relationship of nidus and eloquent. Diffuse BAVMs are related to poor outcomes postoperatively. The role of fMRI in evaluating outcomes in patients with different nidus types remains unclear. BAVM patients received microsurgical resection were included from a prospective, multicenter cohort study. All patients underwent fMRI evaluation preoperatively and were regularly followed up postoperatively. Diffuse BAVM is radiologically identified as nidus containing normal brain tissue interspersing between malformed vessels. Lesion-to-eloquent distance (LED) was calculated based on the relationship between nidus and eloquent. The primary outcome was 180-day unfavorable neurological status postoperatively. The risk of primary outcome was investigated within different BAVM nidus types. The LED's performance to predict poor outcome was evaluated using area under curve (AUC). 346 BAVM patients were included in this study. 93 (26.9%) patients were found to have a 180-day unfavorable outcome. Multivariate logistic analysis demonstrated LED (odd ratio [OR], 0.44; 0.34-0.57; P < 0.001) and mRS at admission (OR, 2.59; 1.90-3.54; P < 0.001) as factors of unfavorable outcome. Subgroup analysis showed LED and mRS at admission as factors of unfavorable outcome for patients with compact BAVMs (all P < 0.05), but not for patients with diffuse BAVMs. Subsequent analysis showed that LED performed poorly to predict the unfavorable outcome for patients with diffuse BAVMs, compared with patients with compact BAVMs (AUC as 0.69 vs. 0.86, P < 0.05). A larger cutoff value of LED to unfavorable outcome was found in patients with diffuse BAVMs (15 mm) compared with patients with compact BAVMs (4.7 mm). Usage of LED to evaluate postoperative outcome of patients with diffuse BAVMs differs from its use in patients with compact BAVMs. Specific assessment strategy considering BAVM nidus types could help improve patients' outcome.
