Endovascular occlusion of vertebro-vertebral arteriovenous fistula using detachable balloons: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. 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
Vertebro-vertebral arteriovenous fistula (VV-AVF) is an uncommon vascular disorder characterized by an abnormal direct connection between the extracranial vertebral artery (VA), as well as the first and second branches of subclavian arteries, and the draining veins of the paravertebral venous plexus. Endovascular occlusion or surgical ligation of the high-flow arteriovenous fistula is the main goal of treatment for VV-AVF, but there are no guidelines for the best treatment to date. Endovascular treatment is the primary treatment procedure due to its safety, effectiveness, and simplicity. We reported a rare clinical case of the endovascular approach used for occlusion of VV-AVF. A 52-year-old female patient with no history of trauma was presented with right neck pain for a month. Diagnostic angiography demonstrated a high-flow VV-AVF at C3-C4 level. After endovascular occlusion with detachable-balloon embolization, the fistula was completely obliterated. To our knowledge, endovascular occlusion for VV-AVF patients is safe and effective. Detachable balloon embolization can be considered a well-tolerated treatment.
