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

We present a longitudinal series of arterial spin-labeling magnetic resonance imaging (ASL-MRI) in a patient with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) treated by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Pretreatment ASL-MRI showed high signal intensity in both the nidus and draining veins, and the latter signal abnormality gradually moved proximally by 14 months after SRS. At 24 months, the signal abnormalities finally disappeared, indicating complete obliteration of the nidus. The hemodynamic changes in the AVM were clearly visualized in the longitudinal ASL-MRI series, thus this non-invasive MR method may be useful not only for detecting AVMs but also for assessment of their response after SRS.
