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

While a craniocervical junction (CCJ) epidural arteriovenous fistula (EDAVF) may present with hemorrhagic myelopathy from an associated feeder aneurysm on rare occasions, non-hemorrhagic myelopathy from such an aneurysm remains unreported. A woman in her late sixties presented with cervical myelopathy due to a non-hemorrhagic intramedullary aneurysm associated with CCJ-EDAVF. The intramedullary aneurysm originated from the spinal pial artery supplied by the anterior spinal artery. Direct surgical fistula coagulation and feeder obliteration resulted in the disappearance of the aneurysm and myelopathy improvement. This report illustrates the first case of a non-hemorrhagic intramedullary aneurysm associated with CCJ-EDAVF successfully treated with direct surgery.
