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

We herein report a case of acute neurological symptoms and a fever initially suspected of being encephalitis but later revealed to be dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). An 84-year-old woman had a fever and cerebral edema and was initially treated for encephalitis. A review of her magnetic resonance imaging findings revealed abnormal blood flow signals. After cerebral angiography, the patient was finally diagnosed with left transverse-sigmoid sinus dAVF. The present case showed that dAVF can also present with an acute onset and a fever, mimicking acute encephalitis. Because the treatments for encephalitis and dAVF differ greatly, the possibility of dAVF should also be considered when diagnosing encephalitis.
