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

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are high-flow acquired shunts that can carry high risk of intracranial hemorrhage. Because DAVFs can often be managed by endovascular means, early and accurate diagnosis can markedly improve patient morbidity. Time-of-flight and arterial spin-labeling MRA have increased the diagnostic utility of MRI for DAVF by showing hemodynamic rather than anatomic evidence of shunting. The purpose of this article is to describe the cases of seven patients who had co-localization of arterial spin-labeling signal intensity and time-of-flight flow-related enhancement in the left skull base, resulting in a misdiagnosis of DAVF and a recommendation for catheter angiography by the interpreting radiologist. Benign jugular venous reflux is identified as a common mechanism in each case, and the physiology behind this imaging pitfall is described. An algorithmic diagnostic approach to differentiating physiologic venous reflux from true posterior skull base DAVFs is presented.
