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

Spinal arteriovenous fistula (SAVF), including spinal dural arteriovenous fistula and spinal extradural arteriovenous fistula (SEAVF), is a rare spinal vascular disorder characterized by abnormal intradural and extradural arteriovenous shunting, often resulting in progressive motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction. Due to its nonspecific presentation and overlapping imaging findings with other spinal diseases, SAVF is frequently misdiagnosed, delaying appropriate treatment and increasing the risk of neurological deterioration. Here, we present a case in which heavily T2-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography at 3T were valuable for the diagnosis of SEAVF.
