Varix Rupture Due to High-Flow Parasagittal Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistula: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Parasagittal sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are rare and aggressive vascular malformations with a high risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). We present the case of a 75-year-old man with altered consciousness, anisocoria, and left hemiparesis due to a large subcortical ICH. Imaging revealed a ruptured varix associated with a parasagittal sinus DAVF (Cognard type IV, Borden type III). The patient underwent emergency hematoma evacuation, followed by successful transarterial embolization via the contralateral middle meningeal artery (MMA) using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Despite complete angiographic obliteration, the clinical outcome was poor. Parasagittal sinus DAVFs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of large subcortical hemorrhages. It should also be noted that certain cases may result in unfavorable clinical outcomes. When ipsilateral arterial access is unavailable, a contralateral approach via the MMA can be effective.
