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

Background: The two main treatments for spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) include microsurgical occlusion or endovascular embolization (i.e., the latter alone has high recurrence rates). Here, we combined both strategies to treat/obliterate a cervical SDAVF more effectively. Case Description: A 34-year-old male presented with a marked decline in mental status attributed to an infratentorial subarachnoid hemorrhage. The left vertebral angiogram revealed a ruptured, low cervical SDAVF. He underwent successful occlusion of the spinal fistula utilizing super selective catheterization and endovascular embolization (i.e., utilizing Onyx-18 for the obliteration of target arteries). Due to significant SDAVF accompanying vessel recruitment/complex angioarchitecture, we additionally performed a C5 anterior corpectomy/fusion to afford direct access and complete surgical SDAVF occlusion. Three and 6 months later, repeated angiograms confirmed no recurrent or residual SDAVF. Conclusion: We successfully treated a low cervical SDAVF using a combination of endovascular embolization and direct surgical occlusion through an anterior C5 corpectomy with a fusion approach.
