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

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are direct communications between the intracranial arterial and venous systems without an intervening nidus. Clinicians sometimes fail to give a correct diagnosis of DAVF. Given the similarity of their clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations, diagnostic confusion may arise between DAVF and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) (Simon et al., 2009). The clinical management of DAVFs differs from that of CVST (Ma et al., 2015; Yang et al., 2015). Anticoagulation therapy is restricted in some cases of DAVFs, especially when they are associated with retrograde venous flow, due to the increased risk of hemorrhage. Here we present a case of a DAVF patient who had been initially misdiagnosed as CVST. We summarize the reasons for misdiagnosis and give some recommendations to address this problem.
