The hybrid operation based on microsurgery assisted by intraoperative spinal angiography in patients with spinal dural arteriovenous fistula: a series of 45 cases from multicenter research.
Article in Chinese neurosurgical journal, 2024. 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
backgroundTo assess the clinical effects of hybrid surgery, which includes spinal angiography-assisted microsurgery, in the treatment of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVF).
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 45 patients who underwent hybrid Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) resection between September 2019 and June 2022. The hybrid surgery involved intraoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of the spinal vessels to determine the source of the blood-supplying artery, location of the fistula and draining vein, indocyanine green fluorescence (ICG)-assisted microsurgical resection of the fistula, and postoperative DSA to verify therapeutic efficacy. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Barthel score, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and modified Aminoff-Logue score (key indicator) were used to assess the clinical effects of SDAVF resection.
resultsA series of 45 patients with SDAVF were successfully treated with hybrid surgery without fistula recurrence. There were no intraoperative complications related to spinal angiography, and none of the patients died. Postoperatively, two patients experienced clinical deterioration of spinal cord function, which manifested as bilateral lower extremity paralysis and bladder sphincter dysfunction. Postoperatively, improvement in mALS scores was observed in 16 cases (35.6%) within 1-2 days, 12 cases (26.7%) at 1 week, and 7 cases (15.6%) at 6 months. No SDAVF recurrence was detected in the spinal MRA examination 6 months after surgery. When compared with preoperative mALS scores, 35 cases (77.8%) showed significant improvement in symptoms, 8 cases (17.8%), remained unchanged, and 2 cases (4.4%) deteriorated. Compared with the preoperative scores, the postoperative mALS score was significantly decreased [postoperative vs. preoperative: 2(1,3) vs. 3(2,4)], HAMD score [(12.2 ± 5.5) vs. (19.6 ± 6.3)], HAMA score [(15.6 ± 5.5) vs. (20.5 ± 6.5)], and VAS score [3(2,5) vs. 5(4,8)]. Conversely, Barthel scoresshowed significant increase [(74.6 ± 8.7) vs. (67.8 ± 9.2)] (P < 0.05). However, the mRS scores were lower than preoperatively [1(1,2) vs. 2(1,2.5)], but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). There was a significant increase in "good" neurological outcomes at follow-up compared with preoperative function (62.2% vs. 33.3%) (P = 0.023).
conclusionHybrid surgery is a safe and effective treatment for patients with SAVF, which is beneficial for improving anxiety, depression, spinal cord, and neurological function, and relieving pain. However, the treatment of patients with SDAVF is a complex, long-term process requiring further multidisciplinary interventions, including clinical care, psychosocial interventions, and neurorehabilitation.
