Successful Endovascular Treatment of a Traumatic Cervical Arteriovenous Fistula After a Carotid Paraganglioma Resection: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Traumatic cervical arteriovenous fistulas are rare, accounting for only 4% of all arteriovenous fistulas. They can be caused by penetrating, or rarely, blunt trauma, resulting in high-pressure arterial blood draining directly into a vein, decreasing distal perfusion. They are seldom reported as a complication of a carotid paraganglioma surgical resection. Historically, arteriovenous fistulas were treated initially conservatively, after that, surgically; nowadays, endovascular treatment, when feasible, is the preferred method as it offers advantages over surgery. This case report describes a rare traumatic cervical arteriovenous fistula that developed after a carotid paraganglioma resection and was successfully treated using coils and Onyx embolic agent via endovascular embolization. After successful embolization, the patient had a smooth recovery and remained stable. In conclusion, vascular injury seems to be the only constant in all acquired cervical arteriovenous fistulas independent of the trauma mechanism; and endovascular treatment, when feasible, is preferred over surgery as it offers superior advantages.
