Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistula: A Mimic of Demyelinating Disease and Radiculopathy.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is characterized by an abnormal connection between a radicular artery and the venous plexus producing spinal cord venous congestion. It manifests with nonspecific sensory and motor symptoms. We present three cases of SDAVF with different forms of presentation; in two cases, an autoimmune etiology was considered, and in the third case, the initial diagnosis was chronic radiculopathy. In all three cases, a serpentine enhancement was observed after the gadolinium in the dorsal region of the spinal cord corresponded to flow voids in T2-weighted images, which guided the diagnosis. SDAVF should be considered in atypical clinical presentations of radiculopathies or spinal cord syndromes, especially spinal conus or epicone syndrome. Likewise, it should be part of the differential diagnosis of spinal cord presentations of demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.
