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 and purposeDespite a rapidly growing body of literature supporting the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) with middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE), real-life data is still scarce. This study aimed to evaluate MMAE radiological and clinical outcomes, based on radiological characteristics.Materials and MethodsFifty-two cSDH patients, treated by MMAE as a post-CSDH evacuation therapy in a single tertiary center, were included. Radiological outcome was evaluated with cSDH thickness/volume difference at routine follow-up compared to pre-MMAE CT head imaging. The cohort was divided into groups pertaining to cSDH laterality (bilateral and unilateral cSDH) and pre-MMAE hematoma thickness (>15 mm and ≤15 mm) for analysis. Patients who underwent evacuation
