Eradication of the nidus in arteriovenous malformations with a dominant outflow vein in the lower extremities using coils and absolute ethanol.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveIn the present study, we summarize our experience in locating the nidus of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with a dominant outflow vein (DOV) in the lower extremities and eradicating the nidus with ethanol and coils.
methodsTwelve patients with lower extremity AVMs who underwent ethanol embolization combined with DOV occlusion from January 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled in the present study. Selective angiography was used to locate the nidus of the AVMs, which was eradicated using ethanol and coils via the direct puncture pathway. All treated patients underwent postoperative follow-up (mean, 25.5 months; range, 14-37 months).
resultsThe 12 patients underwent a total of 29 procedures (mean, 2.4; range, 1-4) with 27 detachable coils and 169 Nester coils (Cook Medical Inc, Bloomington, IN). Of the 12 patients, 7 (58.3%) had a complete response and 5 (41.7%) a partial response. Three patients (25%) had minor complications such as blister and superficial skin ulcers during follow-up. However, they recovered spontaneously and completely. No major complications were recorded.
conclusionsEthanol embolization combined with coil-assisted DOV occlusion has the potential to eradicate the nidus of lower extremity AVMs with acceptable complication rates.
