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
backgroundThere is no consensus as to whether balloon angioplasty alone or stent placement is effective for sinus occlusion associated with dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). Herein, we first report a case of transverse sinus occlusion associated with DAVF in which gradual sinus dilatation was observed after balloon angioplasty with embolization of the affected sinus with shunt flow. CASE PRESENTATION: A 69-year-old man presented with executive dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed left transverse sinus-sigmoid sinus DAVF with occlusion of the left jugular vein and right transverse sinus. Before endovascular treatment, the patient had symptomatic epilepsy and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Retrograde leptomeningeal venous drainage disappeared with packing of the left transverse sinus-sigmoid sinus. Subsequently, balloon angioplasty of the right occluded transverse sinus was performed to maintain the normal venous drainage and remaining shunt outflow. Dilatation of the right transverse sinus was poor immediately after surgery. However, angiography after 10 days and 6 months revealed gradual dilatation of the right transverse sinus.
conclusionSinus occlusion, which is thought to be caused by sinus hypertension associated with DAVF rather than chronic organized thrombosis or thrombophilia, may dilate over time after balloon angioplasty and shunt flow reduction if occluded sinus is necessary for facilitating normal venous drainage.
