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

A carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is a disruption in the carotid arteries within the cavernous sinus. The pooling of blood in the sinus causes a myriad of neurological deficits. When correctly diagnosed, this condition can be easily managed through surgical intervention. However, its rareness and similarity in presentation to other neurological conditions allow for misdiagnosis and subsequent progression to permanent disability. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the unique clinical features and signs of CCFs. We report on the clinical workup, diagnosis, and treatment of the first documented case of a patient who developed a carotid cavernous fistula in conjunction with spine surgery.
