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

Background: Spontaneous complete regression of malignant cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (CSDAVFs) following partial transarterial embolization is an extremely uncommon phenomenon. The mechanism responsible for this condition remains unclear. Case Description: The authors describe two cases of malignant CSDAVFs (Cognard IIb and V) treated by partial transarterial embolization with liquid embolic agents after unsuccessful transvenous embolization through various routes. Follow-up cerebral angiography in these cases confirmed complete resolution of the fistulas. Conclusion: In our two patients harboring low-flow CSDAVFs with preexisting thrombosis of the cavernous sinus (CS), it is possible that some portions of the liquid embolic materials could migrate into the fistulas, inducing thrombosis within the CS.
