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

Vertebral-venous fistula (VVF) is a rare vascular disorder characterized by an atypical, direct, high-flow shunt between an extracranial vertebral artery and its adjoining vein. While it can originate spontaneously in association with conditions affecting the vascular wall, trauma is also a recognized etiological factor. We report a case of a 64-year-old gentleman with multiple neurofibromas who presented with a cervical VVF leading to cervical myelopathy, successfully managed with endovascular coiling. The condition's rarity and the complex vascular anatomy involved have hindered the development of standardized management guidelines. Our experience aligns with literature indicating that endovascular treatment can be a safe and effective approach for VVF.
