Effective endovascular treatment of veins of Galen malformation in a child: A case study.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a rare congenital arteriovenous anomaly characterized by abnormal connections between cerebral arteries and the vein of Galen. This case report details the presentation, diagnosis, and management of a 10-year-old boy from Gabon, who exhibited learning difficulties, macro crania, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. A cerebral CT scan revealed an aneurysmal malformation of the ampulla of Galen with tri ventricular hydrocephalus, necessitating the placement of a peritoneal shunt. Upon referral to our facility, the patient underwent an angioMRI and malformative work-up, followed by an arteriogram confirming the diagnosis. The subsequent endovascular embolization procedure resulted in significant cognitive and radiological improvements, with no further seizures or signs of ischemia. This case underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention in managing Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM), highlighting the efficacy of endovascular therapy.
