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

Posterior fossa arteriovenous malformations represent 7-15% of all intracranial AVMs. They carry a higher risk of rupture than supratentorial AVMs and are associated with considerable rates of morbidity and mortality. Available treatment options include conservative management, microsurgical resection, radiosurgery, endovascular embolization, or combinations of these modalities. Recent advances in endovascular techniques have revolutionized their management with better clinical outcomes. We illustrate two cases of posterior fossa AVMs treated by endovascular techniques with good clinical outcomes. The first patient also had associated flow-related aneurysms. One of these aneurysms had already ruptured, so it was coiled first followed by AVM nidus embolization using the same microcatheter. The second patient had a diffuse type of posterior fossa AVM for which staged-embolization was planned and the first-stage partial embolization was successfully performed.
