Endovascular Management of Arteriovenous Malformations in the Thalamic and Basal Ganglia: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the thalamic and basal ganglia present significant challenges due to their deep-seated location and complex vessel architecture. This systematic review outlines the efficacy and outcomes of endovascular management of these lesions. A comprehensive analysis of seven studies including 53 patients revealed high technical success rates, with complete obliteration in 46.7-100% of cases, using advanced embolization agents, such as ethylene vinyl-alcohol copolymer, and precipitating hydrophobic injectable liquid. Adjunctive therapies, mainly stereotactic radiosurgery, further improved results in complex cases. The complications were highly variable, and again, the need for the performance of the technique to be as meticulous as possible was pointed out, tailoring the treatment strategies. This review underlines the potential of endovascular interventions in optimizing outcomes in patients with AVMs in these critical brain regions.
