A rare case of a cervical dural arteriovenous fistula presenting in a younger patient with vertex subarachnoid hemorrhage: Case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVF) are rare entities, which mainly occur in the thoracic and lumbar regions of older adults with a significant male predominance. The clinical manifestations are nonspecific such as myelopathy and this can make it challenging to diagnose. Rarely these have been described in the cervical region with even rare manifestations including subarachnoid hemorrhage. In the few reports of hemorrhage, it is usually infratentorial. We present a case of 40-year-old female (uncommon gender and younger age) who presented with headaches and was found to have supra tentorial subarachnoid hemorrhage and a suspicious lesion in the spinal canal. This proved to be a type 1 AVM of the spinal canal (per the American British and French classification). This was successfully treated endovascularly. With the discussion of the relevant literature we hope that this case can add to our medical knowledge as another presentation of this uncommon condition and ultimately help in diagnosing this illusive and rare entity.
