Multimodality treatment approach in children with cerebral arteriovenous malformation--a survey in the Danish population.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2012. 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
introductionArteriovenous malformations are not a common disease in childhood. A national survey was conducted to reveal the Danish incidence of the disease, presentation, choice of treatment, and outcome. MATERIALS AND
methodsForty patients were admitted to any of the five neurosurgical centers during the years 2000-2008. A retrospective survey was conducted using hospital records.
resultsTwenty-three males and 17 females presented with AVM with a mean age of 11.3 (1 month-18 years). The incidence was found to be 0.4/100,000. Early fatal outcome was seen in three patients. Treatment was surgery (12), endovascular (5), radiosurgery (6), or a combination of the above (10). Four patients were treated conservatively. Complications of the treatment were seen in 27%. Occlusion rate was 74%. Good or excellent outcome was seen in 65%.
conclusionA national survey may give a lower rate of success than in the specialized centers accepting patients more eligible for treatment. Still, the low number of children could call for centralization and collaboration in this population.
