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

backgroundSpinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) usually occurs during the 4 CASE PRESENTATION: We reported a 16-year-old male presented with progressive weakness and numbness of lower limbs for 3 months. A SDAVF was found, which was fed by right radicular arteries from segmental artery at L2 level and drained retrogradely into perimedullary veins. A concomitant spinal extradural nodular fasciitis at right L1/L2 intervertebral foramen was also noted. The SDAVF was completely obliterated by endovascular treatment and the tumor was debulked. The patient recovered well after the procedures.

conclusionsOur case report suggests SDAVF can occur in adolescent. The concomitant presence with a nodular fasciitis indicates that although it usually arises in subcutaneous tissue but can rarely form on the dura of spine.
