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

In this third review article on the endovascular management of intracranial dural AVFs, we discuss transvenous embolization approaches. Transvenous embolization is increasingly popular and now the first-line approach for ventral dural AVFs involving the cavernous sinus and hypoglossal canal. In addition, transvenous embolization is increasingly used in lateral epidural dural AVFs in high-risk locations such as the petrous and ethmoid regions. The advantage of transvenous embolization in these locations is the ability to retrogradely embolize the draining vein and fistula while reducing the risk of ischemic cranial neuropathy or brain parenchymal infarction commonly feared from a transarterial approach. By means of coils ± ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, transvenous embolization can achieve angiographic cure rates of 80%-90% in ventral locations. Potential complications include transient cranial neuropathy, neurologic deterioration due to venous outflow obstruction, and perforation while navigating pial veins. Transvenous embolization should be considered when dural AVFs arise in proximity to the vasa nervosum or extracranial-intracranial anastomoses.
