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

clinical/methodical issueCavernous malformations or cavernomas belong to the angiodysplasias. They may be sporadic or familial and cause symptoms (epilepsy) despite the absence of a left-to-right shunt. In addition to intracranial locations, spinal cavernomas are also found. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL

methodsMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are used for diagnosis PERFORMANCE: MRI, except for acutely or subacutely hemorrhaged cavernomas, is superior to CT for lesion detection. ACHIEVEMENTS: CT is reserved for acute diagnosis. MRI, especially susceptibility-sensitive gradient echo sequences, can also detect cavernomas without (sub-)acute hemorrhage or calcifications. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: MRI is also useful for differentiating the familial form vs. sporadic form. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is used for differential diagnosis in rare cases, as cavernomas show no correlate here.
