Surgical treatment for symptomatic pure arterial malformations: a single-center experience.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pure arterial malformations (PAMs) are rare cerebrovascular conditions characterized by dilated, tortuous arteries with a coil-like appearance, without venous components. Traditionally considered benign, PAMs are typically conservatively managed. However, their detection has increased with advancements in noninvasive imaging, and concerns about progression have emerged, with cases of cerebral hemorrhage or infarction being reported, raising questions about their benign nature and optimal treatment. Over nine years, our center surgically treated seven patients with symptomatic PAM, finding that PAMs are not invariably benign, especially in patients with aneurysm or prior stroke. We suggest that proactive surgical intervention, including malformation isolation or resection, complemented by cerebral bypass for vascular reconstruction, should be the preferred strategy. We also underscore the need for tailored management based on individual risk factors.
