Preoperative collateralization depending on posterior components in the prediction of transient neurological events in moyamoya disease.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Changes in local cerebral blood flow (CBF) are a major cause of transient neurological events (TNEs) after revascularization for moyamoya disease (MMD); however, the influence of preoperative collateral pathway development on TNEs has not yet been investigated. This study included 28 hemispheres from 28 consecutive patients with MMD who underwent surgical revascularization, including a superficial temporal artery (STA) to middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass, between January 2014 and March 2022. The collateralization pathways included the anterior communicating artery (AcomA) collaterals, posterior communicating artery (PcomA) collaterals, transdural collaterals, posterior pericallosal anastomosis, lenticulostriate anastomosis, thalamic anastomosis, and choroidal anastomosis. These collateral pathways were analyzed to identify predictive factors significantly associated with TNEs. TNEs were observed in 11 (39.3%) hemispheres. The development of posterior pericallosal anastomosis and choroidal anastomosis was a significant independent predictor of the occurrence of TNEs after bypass surgery for MMD (P = 0.01, OR 26.9, 95% CI 1.50-480.0; P = 0.002, OR 47.6, 95% CI 2.65-856.6). The development of choroidal and posterior pericallosal anastomosis could be reliable preoperative predictors of TNEs after bypass surgery for MMD. Our results provide useful information for future studies aimed at clarifying the mechanisms underlying TNEs.
