Intraoperative Cerebellar Ischemic Stroke During Scoliosis Correction Surgery in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.
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
We present the case of a 14-year-old female patient with cerebral palsy, spastic hemiparesis, and neuromuscular scoliosis. Her medical history includes scoliosis managed with a growing rod lengthening system in 2020 (at age 9), followed by a spinal lengthening procedure one year later. The patient underwent scoliosis correction surgery in 2025. During the procedure, she experienced a loss of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) and motor evoked potentials (MEP). A subsequent postoperative brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a cerebellar ischemic stroke, contrasting with a normal preoperative brain MRI. Despite this, she showed no functional or neurological deterioration compared to her baseline status. This case is notable for the occurrence of the cerebrovascular accident (CVA) during surgery, which prompted investigation into potential causes, such as global hypoperfusion by monitoring intraoperative vital signs. It also highlights the importance of rigorous monitoring and multidisciplinary communication during scoliosis surgery and suggests the need for prospective studies to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for intraoperative stroke in pediatric patients.
