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

background and purposeCSF-venous fistula can be diagnosed with multiple myelographic techniques; however, no prior work has characterized the time to contrast opacification and the duration of visualization. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the temporal characteristics of CSF-venous fistula on digital subtraction myelography. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe reviewed the digital subtraction myelography images of 26 patients with CSF-venous fistulas. We evaluated how long the CSF-venous fistula took to opacify after contrast reached the spinal level of interest and how long it remained opacified. Patient demographics, CSF-venous fistula treatment, brain MR imaging findings, CSF-venous fistula spinal level, and CSF-venous fistula laterality were recorded.

resultsEight of the 26 CSF-venous fistulas were seen on both the upper- and lower-FOV digital subtraction myelography, for a total of 34 CSF-venous fistula views evaluated on digital subtraction myelography. The mean time to appearance was 9.1 seconds (range, 0-30 seconds). Twenty-two (84.6%) of the CSF-venous fistulas were on the right. The highest fistula level was C7, while the lowest was T13 (13 rib-bearing vertebral bodies). The most common CSF-venous fistula levels were T6 (4 patients) followed by T8, T10, and T11 (3 patients each). The mean age was 58.3 years (range, 31.7-87.6 years). Sixteen patients were women (61.5%).

conclusionsThis is the first study to report the temporal characteristics of CSF-venous fistulas using digital subtraction myelography. We found that on average, the CSF-venous fistula appeared 9.1 seconds (range, 0-30 seconds) after intrathecal contrast reached the spinal level.
