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

introductionA spinal dural arteriovenous fistula is a rare type of vascular malformation. If left untreated, these fistulas can result in significant neurological deficits secondary to spinal cord infarct or hemorrhage. CASE PRESENTATION: A 70-year-old female with a longstanding history of episodic progressive bilateral lower extremity weakness and sensory disturbances was previously misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Imaging revealed a T2 signal change from T7 to the conus with associated signal change and she subsequently underwent a T10-L1 laminectomy for clip ligation of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula. Here we present the clinical and radiographic progression of one patient with a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula. DISCUSSION: Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas are a rare but treatable cause of myelopathy, so it is important to understand its natural progression and radiologic findings as it is frequently misdiagnosed.
