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 case of symptomatic varix associated with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM), nidus is usually treated with transarterial embolization (TAE). However, TAE is not always possible due to inaccessible nidus. A man in his 40s presented with numbness and clumsiness in the right hand. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebral angiography revealed a giant varix associated with an AVM nidus in the left parietal lobe. The varix severely compressed the postcentral gyrus with edema. The main feeder was occluded, and tiny collateral vessels fed the nidus. After admission, his symptoms deteriorated rapidly due to the enlarging varix. To extirpate the varix, selective transvenous embolization (TVE) of a small compartment, the varix neck, between the varix and the main cortical drainer with coils was performed. After treatment, the thrombosed varix gradually shrank, and his symptoms improved. The transvenous coil-plugging technique is a potential strategy for symptomatic varix with a varix neck.
