Carotid-cavernous sinus fistula following mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischaemic stroke: a rare complication.
Review in Neuroradiology, 2021. 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
Carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas (CCFs) are abnormal communications between the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the cavernous sinus (CS). Direct CCFs are associated with trauma or are iatrogenic complications of neuroendovascular procedures. Meanwhile, mechanical endovascular thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) has been established as a common treatment approach. However, MT is not without its risks of complications, and only a few reports exist on CCF occurring after MT. Here, we present a case of a 63-year-old patient with iatrogenic high-flow CCF of the right horizontal cavernous ICA segment (C4) following repeated MT due to LVO of the middle cerebral artery, and the recent literature is reviewed.
