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

introductionSome micro arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) located in deep brain are undetectable. How to choose a proper timing to detect these AVMs remains unclear. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 21-year-old male patient was admitted to our center for intraventricular haematoma. Digital subtraction angiographies (DSAs) were performed one week and one month respectively after his haemorrhage, but no positive results were obtained. The patient was hospitalized for re-haemorrhage six years later. A micro AVM with two diffused niduses was detected and embolised three months after his re-haemorrhage. The patient recovered without any neurological deficit. DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION: Compressive effects of haematoma and spontaneous obliteration of AVMs might play pivotal roles in negative DSA results.

conclusionsStrategic and timely use of DSA could identify some dormant re-haemorrhagic AVMs.
