1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

background and purposePatients with ruptured brain AVMs are at considerable risk of repeat hemorrhage, particularly when associated intranidal or flow-related aneurysms are present. There is controversy about the timing of diagnosis and treatment of patients with hemorrhagic stroke. We present our results of endovascular treatment of ruptured AVMs in the acute phase. MATERIALS AND

methodsBetween January 2008 and March 2011, 23 patients (16 men, 7 women; mean age 42 years) with AVM-related hemorrhagic stroke were treated with endovascular techniques within 10 days of the ictus. There were 10 micro-AVMs (< 1 cm) and 1 single-hole pial fistula. In 9 patients, an intranidal or flow-related aneurysm was the likely cause of hemorrhage.

resultsComplete obliteration of the AVM with Onyx was achieved in 13 of 23 patients (57%). Eight of the 13 AVMs were micro-AVMs and 3 had an intranidal aneurysm. Partial obliteration of the AVM was achieved in 10 of 23 patients (43%). In 6 of these 10 patients, an intranidal (n = 1) or flow-related aneurysm (n = 5) was obliterated with Onyx or coils. There were no complications of treatment. During a mean follow-up of 21 months in 22 surviving patients, no repeat hemorrhage occurred.

conclusionsEndovascular treatment with Onyx in the acute phase cured most ruptured AVMs. All 9 AVM-associated aneurysms that were considered the source of hemorrhage could be excluded from the circulation. In patients with AVM-related hemorrhagic stroke, prompt angiographic diagnosis and treatment may improve prognosis by reducing repeat hemorrhage rate.
