Iatrogenic Cranial Pseudomeningocele on the Stroke Unit: A Lesser-Known Potential Complication After Decompressive Hemicraniectomy Following Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report presents a rare complication of a large pseudomeningocele following decompressive hemicraniectomy in a young gentleman with malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) syndrome after a large anterior circulation ischemic stroke. Our patient responded to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drain before proceeding to an interval cranioplasty and made an excellent recovery over time and with vocational neurorehabilitation. Our report charts the patient's clinical journey, including diagnostic assessment, management, and outcome, and highlights the challenges in managing this uncommon complication in the stroke unit. It also underlines the need for multidisciplinary collaboration and early neurosurgical involvement in managing this complication to prevent unfavourable neurological sequelae.
