Intraoperative detection of residual arteriovenous malformation using narrow-band imaging: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 2026. 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
backgroundComplete obliteration of the nidus is the primary goal of microsurgical treatment for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), yet small residual components may be difficult to detect under conventional white-light visualization. OBSERVATIONS: A 46-year-old man presented with a ruptured Spetzler-Martin grade III AVM with a large temporoparietal intracerebral hemorrhage. After endovascular embolization, microsurgical resection was performed using a 4K 3D ORBEYE exoscope system. Although the nidus appeared completely removed under white light, narrow-band imaging (NBI) revealed a small vascular lesion within the resection cavity. Indocyanine green videoangiography (ICG-VA) confirmed residual blood flow, and the suspected remnant was additionally resected. Histopathological analysis demonstrated arterialized vessels with irregular internal elastic laminae consistent with residual AVM components. Postoperative angiography confirmed complete obliteration. The patient was transferred for rehabilitation on hospital day 70 with mild aphasia and sensory disturbance (modified Rankin Scale score 2). LESSONS: NBI served as a useful adjunct for detecting small residual AVM components during microsurgical resection. Combined use with ICG-VA may improve intraoperative assessment of nidus removal. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE26265.
