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 and purposeEndovascular treatment has been increasingly used for anterior cranial fossa dural AVFs. Evidence on the safety and efficacy of different endovascular treatment strategies is limited. We report clinical and angiographic outcomes of patients with anterior cranial fossa dural AVFs who underwent treatment using transarterial embolization with MATERIALS AND

methodsConsecutive patients undergoing treatment for anterior cranial fossa dural AVFs at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers between 2010 and 2023 were retrospectively included. Transarterial embolization was used as a first-line approach, while transvenous treatment and surgery were used in cases of unsuccessful transarterial embolization. Treatment was evaluated on the basis of the angiographic cure rate, procedural complications, and clinical outcome.

resultsFourteen patients were included with 15 anterior cranial fossa dural AVFs. All patients underwent primary endovascular treatment (12 transarterial, 1 transvenous, and 1 combined). Complete occlusion using only transarterial embolization was reached in 69% of patients (9/13), while the overall complete occlusion by endovascular treatment was reached in 79% of patients (11/14). Navigation and embolization were performed through the ophthalmic artery in 13 patients, with no procedural complications. Visual acuity was preserved in all patients. Three patients underwent an operation after failed endovascular treatment. All patients had complete anterior cranial fossa dural AVF occlusion at follow-up.
