Case report: emergent endovascular treatment for carotid cavernous fistulas presenting as intracranial hemorrhage.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. 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
Objectives: This study aimed to discuss the clinical characteristics and emergent endovascular treatment of carotid cavernous fistulas presenting as intracranial hemorrhage. Methods: The clinical data of five patients with carotid cavernous fistulas, who presented with intracranial hemorrhage and who were admitted from January 2010 to April 2017, were analyzed retrospectively, and the diagnoses were confirmed by head computed tomography. Digital subtraction angiography was carried out in all the patients for the diagnosis and further emergent endovascular procedures. All patients were followed up to assess the clinical outcomes. Results: In total, five patients harbored five mono-lateral lesions; two of them were obliterated by detachable balloons, two by detachable coils, and one by detachable coils and Onyx glue. Only one patient was cured by another detachable balloon in the second session, and the other four patients were cured in the first session. At the 3- to 10-year follow-up, there was no intracranial re-hemorrhage in any of the patients; there was no recurrence of symptoms; and delayed occlusion of the parent artery was noted in one case. Conclusion: Emergent endovascular therapy is indicated for carotid cavernous fistulas presenting as intracranial hemorrhage. Individualized treatment according to the characteristics of different lesions is safe and effective.
