Combined endovascular and microsurgical management of complex traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula: Three case reports.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: With the evolution of the endovascular devices, the management of endovascular interventions has become the current standard therapy for traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula (TCCF). However, only endovascular treatment may not be feasible in some patients with atypical TCCF. Case Description: We described three complex TCCFs that could not be managed by conventional endovascular methods. The first patient had recurrent TCCF previously treated by muscle embolization and ligation of affected carotid arteries 23 years ago. Another two patients had TCCFs association with large pseudoaneurysm within the sphenoid sinus. In each patient, the fistula was successfully closed by trapping procedure using a combination of endovascular and surgical treatment. Conclusion: To reduce costs of treatment, trapping operation by combining surgical and endovascular treatment may be considered as an alternative option for complex TCCF which has some features including chronic stage, preexisting carotid artery ligation, or association with large venous pouch of the cavernous sinus or sphenoid sinus pseudoaneurysm.
