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

purposeThe objective of this study was to evaluate our 12-year experience in treating Borden type III transverse-sigmoid sinus (TSS) dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) and discuss the technical aspects of ipsilateral and contralateral transvenous embolization (TVE) approaches.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed charts of consecutive patients with TSS DAVF treated with multimodal treatment between April 2008 and March 2020. The baseline patient characteristics, imaging data, details of procedure, data sets of sinus pressure monitoring, and clinical results were systematically collected.

resultsOf 44 patients with TSS DAVF who were treated during study periods, 23 patients of Borden type III were extracted. Among the 23 patients, 18 with transfemoral TVE were included for analysis. TVE was performed using an ipsilateral approach in 8 patients and a contralateral approach in 10. Pressure monitoring data revealed that initial mean sinus pressure (43.5 mmHg vs. 29.5 mmHg; P = 0.033), maximum sinus pressure during the procedure (69.0 mmHg vs. 40.5 mmHg; P = 0.011), and sinus pressure gradient (22.5 mmHg vs. 5.5 mmHg; P = 0.021) were significantly higher in the ipsilateral approach group. The complete obliteration rate by primary embolization was 94% in our cohort with the recurrence rate of 5.6% with a median follow-up period of 57 months.

conclusionOur study showed the durability of TVE for patients with Borden type III TSS DAVF. TVE performed via the contralateral approach might prevent a potentially dangerous increase in intraprocedural sinus pressure and cortical venous reflux.
