Stereotactic Evacuation Performed During the Subacute Phase Improves Functional Independence Measurement Scores in Patients With Putaminal Hemorrhage.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
introductionSurgery for putaminal hemorrhage during the acute phase does not improve motor and cognitive impairments. We investigated the effect of stereotactic evacuation performed seven days after the onset of putaminal hemorrhage on the Functional Independence Measurement (FIM) score, compared with that of conservative treatment.
methodsWe included 203 patients admitted for putaminal hemorrhage treatment between January 2012 and December 2022. Of these, 28 patients with putaminal hemorrhage (computed tomography classification IVa: putaminal hemorrhage into the anterior and posterior limbs of the internal capsule without ventricular perforation) who did not undergo surgery in the acute phase were divided into stereotactic evacuation (n = 14) and conservative treatment (n = 14) groups. We then evaluated the total, motor, and cognitive FIM scores at three months post admission.
resultsGreater average hematoma volume (p = 0.06) and greater perihematomal edema volume (p = 0.07) on admission were observed in the stereotactic evacuation group. We performed stereotactic evacuation 13.6 ± 3.4 days after admission, with an average hematoma removal rate of 91.4%. The total and cognitive FIM scores at three months improved in the stereotactic evacuation group.
conclusionOur findings indicate that stereotactic evacuation in the subacute phase has better functional outcomes, especially in patients with cognitive impairment. Minimally invasive surgery may be a promising option to improve patients' prognoses.
