Lower Back Pain Beyond Routine Causes: Sacral Spinal Epidural Arteriovenous Fistula (SEDAVF).
Article in Cureus, 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
Lower back pain (LBP) is a frequent complaint, even among young people. The most common cause is attributed to slipped discs or vertebral fractures. Less common etiologies should also be considered when presenting with typical symptoms of severe backache. Here, we are presenting one such uncommon case. A 32-year-old man with a history of meningocele repair in neonates presented with severe backache, urinary retention, and constipation in an emergency. Initially, the patient was treated elsewhere, but symptoms persisted. A contrast-enhanced MRI done in the emergency revealed a rare sacral spinal epidural arteriovenous fistula (SEDAVF) with cord congestion. The patient was taken up for digital subtraction angiography, which confirmed the diagnosis, and was treated successfully with endovascular embolization. This case highlights the complex presentation of SEDAVF and the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention.
