Spontaneous Intra-orbital Arteriovenous Fistula: A Rare Cause of Proptosis.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A left orbital arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is diagnosed in a patient presenting with proptosis. Intra-orbital AVFs are rare according to the literature search, and therefore, the best treatment modality remains controversial. We present a case of a patient who presented with non-specific symptoms. He was diagnosed with intra-orbital AVF and underwent a trans-arterial embolization. The procedure was complicated by the central retinal artery occlusion, which is one of the most feared complications associated with this procedure. We discuss the modalities in the diagnosis of intra-orbital AVFs as well as stress the importance of an interdisciplinary approach for its timely and efficient management.
