Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Presenting as a Rapidly Progressive Thalamic Dementia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Rapidly progressive dementia is an uncommon neurological presentation and usually needs extensive workup, especially for reversible causes. Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) has been rarely reported as a cause of thalamic dementia, in which bilateral thalamic venous congestion and edema cause dementia that usually progresses rapidly. We present a case of a 45 years-old male who presented with rapidly progressive severe attention and memory impairment over one week. Initial work-up showed bilateral thalamic recent venous infarctions and edema. Extensive work-up revealed an intracranial DAVF with internal deep venous thrombosis. Management with endovascular treatment of DAVF followed by anticoagulation for venous thrombosis leads to improvement of the patient's clinical condition, particularly memory and attention. In conclusion, DAFV could present with thalamic rapidly progressive dementia due to bithalamic infarctions and edema. Early diagnosis and treatment will reverse the cause and improve the patient's general and cognitive conditions.
