Clinical characteristics and outcome of dural arteriovenous fistulas secondary to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: a primary or secondary event?
Article in BMC neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas (DAVFs) secondary to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) are rather rare. The aim of present study is to investigate the clinical and radiological features, and treatment outcome of DAVFS in patients following CVST.
methodsData about demographic information, clinical presentations, radiological findings, as well as treatment and outcome of DAVFs sequence to CVST were collected to analysis from January 2013 to September 2020 in this retrospective study.
resultsFifteen patients with DAVFs after CVST were included in the study. The median age was 41 years (range17-76 years). Ten patients (66.67%) were male and 6 patients (33.33%) were female. The median duration of presenting CVST was 182 days (Range 20-365). Mean time from diagnosis of CVST to confirmation of DAVFs was 97 days (range 36-370 days). The most common manifestations of DAVFs following CVST were headache and visual disturbance seen in 7 patients respectively. Five patients had pulsatile tinnitus (%) and 2 had nausea/vomiting. The DAVFs are most frequently located at the transverse/sigmoid sinus (7/15, 46.67%), followed by the superior sagittal the sinus and confluence sinus (6/15, 40.00%) respectively. Angiography of DAVFs revealed Board type I in seven (46.7%) patients, Board type II and III in 4(26.7%) patients, respectively. The Cognard I was noted in seven (46.7%), Cognard IIa and IV in 3 patients, IIb and III in one patient, respectively. The main feeding arteries of DAVFs most commonly originate from the branches of the external carotid artery in 6 (40.0%) patients. The other DAVFs are conjointly supplied by multiple feeders from internal and external carotid artery and vertebral arteries. Fourteen (93.33%) patients were treated with endovascular embolization and none of the patients had permanent deficits during follow-up.
conclusionIntracranial DAVFs following CVST are rare presentations. Most patients have a good outcome after timely interventional therapy. Continued observation and follow-up of (DSA) are important to find DAVFs secondary to CVST.
