Echoes of Trauma: DSA-Guided Coil Embolization for Carotid Cavernous Fistula Presenting with Ocular Bruit and Pulsatile Exophthalmos.

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.
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
Carotid-Cavernous Fistulas (CCFs) are abnormal arteriovenous connections between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus, resulting from trauma. This case report presents a 47-year-old male who developed a CCF following a road traffic accident. The patient exhibited symptoms such as pulsatile exophthalmos and an ocular bruit, characteristic of CCFs. Diagnosis was confirmed through Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), revealed the origin of the fistula. The patient was treated using a novel combined approach of microsurgery and endovascular intervention, involving ligation of the internal carotid artery and transarterial coil embolization. The treatment resulted in rapid resolution of symptoms, including the pulsatile exophthalmos and ocular bruit. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, blending microsurgical and advanced endovascular techniques, in effectively managing traumatic CCFs. The study underscores the value of early diagnosis and the evolving role of minimally invasive procedures in improving patient outcomes.
