The Role of Neurosurgical Techniques in Management of Acute and Chronic Stroke: A Comprehensive Literature Review.
Review 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
Stroke is a medical condition that results from a decreased or completely diminished supply of blood to the brain, and it is considered one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Stroke is categorized as ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, both of which demand prompt and particular timely intervention. This extensive review is done to investigate the precise management of acute and chronic manifestations of stroke in relation to neurosurgical interventions, ultimately providing a thorough analysis regarding indications, procedures, outcomes, and complications that are associated with it. In this regard, a pervasive review of literature was carried out, which was primarily sourced from literature databases such as PubMed. This paper particularly outlines a sound relative analysis of anticipating the competence of each neurosurgical technique in use. Endovascular clot retrieval (ECR) has been particularly highlighted, as its effectiveness has been profoundly observed when selected as a treatment option within a time period of 6-24 hours following an ischemic stroke. In less than a time frame of 48 hours, decompressive hemicraniectomy (DH) is usually considered the most suitable treatment for cases of intracranial hypertension resulting from middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction. Hemorrhages that occur due to ruptured aneurysms are most commonly dealt with clipping and neuroendovascular techniques. Additionally, considering that revascularization surgery is time-sensitive, the results can ultimately vary. Competent results have been linked with stereotactic surgery, which includes deep brain stimulation (DBS) and focused ultrasound ablation (FUSA), which are also famous for being minimally invasive in nature. However, the broader application of these techniques is hindered by the absence of established protocols. This review highlights the importance of timely interventions, advanced equipment, and precise medical protocols to optimize treatment outcomes.
