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

CSF-venous fistulas (CVFs) are a common cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Despite their relatively frequent occurrence, they can be exceedingly difficult to detect on imaging. Since the initial description of CVFs in 2014, the recognition and diagnosis of this type of CSF leak has continually increased. As a result of multi-institutional efforts, a wide spectrum of imaging modalities and specialized techniques for CVF detection is now available. It is important for radiologists to be familiar with the multitude of available techniques, because each has unique advantages and drawbacks. In this article, we review the spectrum of imaging modalities available for the detection of CVFs, explain the advantages and disadvantages of each, provide typical imaging examples, and discuss provocative maneuvers that may improve the conspicuity of CVFs. Discussed modalities include conventional CT myelography, dynamic myelography, digital subtraction myelography, conebeam CT myelography, decubitus CT myelography by using conventional energy-integrating detector scanners, decubitus photon counting CT myelography, and intrathecal gadolinium MR myelography. Additional topics to be discussed include optimal patient positioning, respiratory techniques, and intrathecal pressure augmentation.
