Microsurgical Management of Craniocervical Dural Arteriovenous Fistula: A Case Report and Literature Review.
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
Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) of the craniocervical junction is exceptionally rare. The anatomy of the craniocervical junction area is very complex and is composed of the medulla and spinal cord along with intricate neurovascular structures. A thorough assessment of the angioarchitecture of the fistula is obligatory for choosing the most appropriate treatment for the patient. In this report, we describe the nuance of microsurgical obliteration of craniocervical junction DAVF utilizing intraoperative angiography. A 38-year-old male in a normal state of health was referred to our hospital for an abnormality in his brain checkup. Workup diagnostics showed a DAVF on the craniocervical junction area with feeders from ascending pharyngeal, vertebral, and occipital arteries, with the draining vein mainly to the basal vein of Rosenthal. Microsurgical obliteration of the main draining vein was done with the help of intraoperative digital subtraction angiography with a good outcome. Craniocervical DAVF is a rare entity. Meticulous evaluation of arterial and venous fistula points is necessary to decide the best treatment option for this case. Microsurgical obliteration is a feasible and more straightforward procedure for treating craniocervical DAVF.
