Dural arteriovenous fistula of the lateral foramen magnum region: A review.
Review in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The lateral foramen magnum region is defined as the bilateral occipital area that runs laterally up to the jugular foramen. The critical vasculatures of this region are not completely understood. Dural arteriovenous fistulas that occur in this region are rare and difficult to treat. Therefore, we searched PubMed to identify all relevant previously published English language articles about lateral foramen magnum dural arteriovenous fistulas, and we performed a review of this literature to increase understanding about these fistulas. Four types of dural arteriovenous fistulas occur in the lateral foramen magnum region. These include anterior condylar confluence and anterior condylar vein dural arteriovenous fistulas, posterior condylar canal dural arteriovenous fistulas, marginal sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas, and jugular foramen dural arteriovenous fistulas. These dural arteriovenous fistulas share similar angioarchitectures and clinical characteristics. The clinical presentations of lateral foramen magnum dural arteriovenous fistulas include pulsatile tinnitus, intracranial hemorrhage, myelopathy, orbital symptoms, and cranial nerve palsy. Currently, head computed tomography, computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) are useful for diagnosing dural arteriovenous fistulas, and of these, DSA remains the "gold standard." Most lateral foramen magnum dural arteriovenous fistulas need to be treated due to their aggressive symptoms, and transvenous embolization presents the best options. During treatment, it is critical to accurately place the microcatheter into the fistula point, and intraoperative integrated computed tomography and DSA data are very helpful. Other treatments, such as transarterial embolization, microsurgery or conservative treatment, can also be chosen. After appropriate treatment, most patients with lateral foramen magnum dural arteriovenous fistulas achieve satisfactory outcomes.
