Surgical Hyperspectral imaging and Indocyanine green Near-infrared Examination (SHINE) for brain arteriovenous malformation resection: a case report on how to visualize perfusion.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 and importance: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular anomalies that pose significant risks, including intracranial hemorrhage and neurological deficits. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment, requiring precise intraoperative imaging to ensure complete removal while preserving critical structures. This case report presents the first combined use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and indocyanine green video angiography (ICG VA) to visualize perfusion during brain AVM surgery, highlighting the potential benefits of these advanced imaging techniques. Case description: A 66-year-old male presented with chronic headaches but no neurological deficits. MRI revealed a superficial AVM in the left frontal lobe within the superior frontal sulcus, measuring approximately 2.4 cm. The AVM was fed by feeders from the pericallosal artery, callosomarginal artery, and middle cerebral artery (MCA) branches, with drainage through a dilated cortical vein into the superior sagittal sinus. Preoperative embolization of two MCA feeding branches was performed, followed by microsurgical resection with ICG VA and HSI. Conclusions: This case report demonstrates the successful application of HSI and ICG VA in brain AVM surgery. The combined use of these technologies provided comprehensive intraoperative assessment, enhancing surgical precision and safety. The integration of HSI offers non-invasive, contrast-agent-free imaging, potentially improving outcomes by enabling detailed perfusion mapping. Future studies should explore the broader applications of these imaging modalities in neurovascular practice.
