Spontaneous closure of cerebral dural arteriovenous fistulas with direct cortical venous drainage. A case report.
Article in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
summaryWe describe two rare cases of spontaneous closure of cerebral dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) with a small nidus and draining directly in a single cortical vein with several ectasias. Eighteen previously published cases of spontaneous closure of cerebral DAVF comprised more benign fistula types. In literature, several explanations for DAVF occlusion have been proposed. We hypothesize that, in addition to the known causes, the specific contrast medium used during the diagnostic selective angiography might have played a role in the thrombosis and subsequent fistula closure.
