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 report a case of acute epidural hematoma (AEDH) successfully treated with middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization. A 59-year-old man presented with headache 2 days after minor head trauma. Head computed tomography (CT) revealed a left-sided AEDH with an associated skull fracture. Although the patient had only mild disturbance of consciousness and no focal neurological deficits, the hematoma volume was significant. Given the absence of mass effect and to prevent further hematoma expansion, emergent MMA embolization was performed via a transradial approach under local anesthesia. Angiography demonstrated contrast extravasation from the MMA, which was successfully embolized using 20% n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and the hematoma showed near-complete resolution on follow-up CT 1 month later. This case highlights the potential utility of MMA embolization as a minimally invasive and effective treatment option for select AEDH cases that do not require emergency craniotomy.
