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

Anterior fossa dural arteriovenous fistulas (AF-DAVF) usually display a cortical venous drainage and are therefore at risk for rupture. Microsurgery is traditionally considered in many centers as the first-line treatment since endovascular treatment (EVT) entails a lower cure rate and significant ophthalmic risks. The anterior interhemispheric approach (AIA), originally described by Mayfrank in 1996, seems to offer the effectiveness of microsurgery while limiting the risks related to subfrontal craniotomy. The objective of this study was to analyze the surgical outcomes of patients who underwent this surgical approach for the treatment of AF-DAVF. We hereby describe our 10 years' experience of patients treated for an AF-DAVF with this technique in our institution and retrospectively analyzed our results. In addition, we describe our operative technique and its specificities. Eleven patients with AF-DAVF were included in our study. The definitive cure of the fistula was confirmed in all cases with postoperative cerebral angiography. All patients had a good neurological outcome and no major complication occurred. Brain retractors were never used during surgery, the frontal sinus was never opened neither, and anosmia was never observed after surgery. Anterior interhemispheric approach seems to be safe and effective to treat AF-DAVF with lower risks than other surgical approaches. This technique could be more widely considered when facing such midline vascular lesion.
