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

backgroundSeveral complex pediatric neurovascular conditions are amenable to endovascular treatment. Given the unique anatomical and physiological challenges in children, there is an ongoing need for tools and techniques that provide accurate information for treatment planning, while minimizing exposure to ionizing radiation and contrast. This is more so for neonates and infants with high-flow arteriovenous (AV) shunts that are challenging to assess using conventional techniques.

objectiveIn this brief report, we describe, through representative cases, the potential role of quantitative color-coded digital subtraction angiography (qDSA) in neuroendovascular procedures in children with high-flow AV shunting lesions.

methodsImages were obtained using an ArtisQ biplane system (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). Post-processing was performed at a dedicated workstation (Syngo, Siemens) using the iFlow module to generate color-coded maps of individual digital subtraction angiography runs.

conclusionColor-coded qDSA provides real-time quantitative information in high-flow AV shunting neurovascular lesions. This can potentially help direct treatment choices, optimize endovascular treatment protocols, monitor outcomes, and determine treatment end points.
