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

backgroundBrain Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae (DAVF) are acquired abnormal connections between dural arteries and cerebral veins or venous sinuses. Disconnection of the pathological shunt is recommended for high-grade fistulae and cases with intolerable symptoms or previous bleedings. Surgical disconnection remains the preferred method for anterior fossa DAVF.

methodMicrosurgical disconnection of anterior fossa DAVF is performed with the assistance of a robotic exoscope. Intraoperative aniography is implemented to confirm the exclusion of DAVF.

conclusionThe exoscope provides excellent lighting and magnification in challenging surgical fields improving surgeon's ergonomics and enabling tailored, minimally invasive approaches without compromising procedural safety or effectiveness.
