Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula: A rare but treatable disease that should not be missed by orthopedic surgeons.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Objective: Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is a rare disease that is often misdiagnosed by orthopedic surgeons. We analyzed the reasons for the misdiagnosis and proposed countermeasures. Methods: Twenty-two SDAVF patients who were initially treated in orthopedics were included. The patients were divided into a correct diagnosis group (A) and a misdiagnosis group (B). The clinical data and prognosis were evaluated. Results: There were 10 patients in group A and 12 patients in group B. The clinical manifestations included limb numbness, weakness, and bladder and bowel dysfunction. Among these patients without spinal degenerative diseases which had typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in Group A were more than Group B ( Conclusion: when patients with dysuria especially, have intermittent spinal nerve dysfunction, the possibility of SDAVF should be considered. Awareness of the specific clinical and spinal cord edema and flow voids on MRI of a SDAVF needs to be promoted for orthopedic surgeons. Timely MDT is an important measure for reducing misdiagnosis, and steroids or inappropriate surgery should be avoided until a SDAVF is completely excluded.
