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

Background: Proctoring in neuroendovascular surgery is one of the potential solutions for the shortage of personnel and experience, particularly in unstable and limited-resource areas such as Iraq. Methods: The study was conducted at the Baghdad Neurovascular Center (BNC), the first Hybrid neurovascular institution in Iraq, where sequential online zoom-based meetings between the BNC team and the expert from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were used for teleproctoring for neurointerventional procedures. Results: A total of 28 sessions were conducted, four sessions for each case. Seven cases with various intracranial vascular lesions were operated for neuroendovascular procedures from July/2021 to March/2022. The teleproctoring for each case included four sequential sessions: (1) preoperative planning, (2) device selection and preparation, (3) intraoperative live-stream proctoring, and (4) postoperative reflection and follow-up planning. The procedures include coiling for dural arteriovenous fistula; preoperative tumor embolization; preoperative, partial, and staged embolization for arteriovenous malformation; coiling for intracranial aneurysm; and attempted Giant aneurysm flow-diversion. Major complications were avoided through teleproctoring, and all patients had good outcomes. In addition, the teleproctoring provided an effective training experience to the local neuroendovascular team that is otherwise not feasible. Conclusion: Teleproctoring is an effective and feasible tool to improve patient outcomes and provide a training experience to the local neuroendovascular teams in resource-limited regions.
