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

In vascular neurosurgery, dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are a difficult, challenging condition whose natural history and therapy are still debated. This case report presented a 30-year-old male patient who experienced intermittent headaches for two months, along with gradual weakness in all four limbs, resulting in quadriplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) played a significant role in the diagnosis of the patient, in which the final diagnosis was vascular myelopathy due to Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). A successful embolization procedure of arteriovenous fistula using balloon-assisted liquid embolic agents, through branches of the right occipital artery was performed, resulting in complete obliteration of the fistula. In order to improve the neurovascular symptoms that had previously been reported, the patient was effectively undergoing rehabilitation, with notable progress.
