Endovascular embolization for symptomatic perimedullary AVF and intramedullary AVM: a series and a literature review.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
introductionPerimedullary arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has shunt on the spinal cord surface and it can be treated with surgery, or endovascular embolization. Intramedullary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) has its nidus in the cord and is difficult to treat either by surgery or endovascular technique. We report our experience with endovascular embolization in the treatment of perimedullary AVF and intramedullary AVM.
methodsFour consecutive cases of spinal perimedullary AVF and six intramedullary AVM were retrospectively reviewed. These cases were evaluated and treated at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, China, over a 2-year period. A review of previously reported cases was also performed.
resultsThere was no significant difference in the presentations (P = 0.348), level of lesions (P = 0.350), arterial suppliers (P = 0.801), and associated vascular anomalies between perimedullary AVF and intramedullary AVM, except for age (P = 0.014) and treatment modalities (P = 0.003). The patients with perimedullary AVFs were younger in our cases; the age at onset of symptoms averaged 25.8 years compared to 31.7 years for intramedullary AVMs. There was a significant male predominance for both lesions, and a significantly higher incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage than in spinal dural AVFs. Regarding treatment, endovascular coil embolization is frequently used in perimedullary AVF and liquid embolic agent is an effective therapeutic choice in intramedullary AVM.
conclusionPerimedullary AVF and intramedullary AVM are dissimilar with dural AVF in clinical characteristics. Our experience suggests that the endovascular treatment of spine perimedullary AVFs and intramedullary AVMs is feasible and effective. Endovascular treatment for intramedullary AVMs is still challenging, the main problem is acute ischemia injury of the spinal cord.
