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 malformation (sAVM) is a rare vascular disease of the spine, presenting with symptoms of spinal cord involvement including sensory, motor, and autonomic symptoms. Early diagnosis is critical as the disease progresses to cause spinal cord compression, venous hypertension, and compression leading to spinal cord ischemia or infarction. In this case series, we present three cases treated at our institution over one year, with distinctly different anatomical sites of involvement. The three cases include two cases of type IV (perimedullary) AVMs - one at the C1-C2 level of the spinal cord and the other at the L1 level; and one case of type I (dural) AVM - at the D9-L1 level. Prompt diagnosis was made with the help of MRI and angiography. Endovascular embolization was performed for all patients, whose condition returned to normal within one year of follow-up.
