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

Carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between the main trunk of carotid artery or its branches and the cavernous sinus. Most of the cases of CCF occur following head trauma, but congenital and spontaneous cases have been reported. We report the case of a 47-year-old patient, who initially consulted (in 2012) for headache, tinnitus and diplopia on the left side, without history of trauma, for 1 month before his consultation. An angio-MRI was performed revealed a bilateral carotid-cavernous fistula, then an arteriography for therapeutic purposes with occlusion by coils of the left intracavernous internal carotid artery, arterial replacement being provided by the right internal carotid. 10 years later, the patient consulted for an increase in headaches with the appearance of exophthalmos and diplopia on the right side, a control diagnostic arteriography was performed, and a decision to occlude the right intracavernous internal carotid artery (which is the single functional internal carotid artery) was retained and successfully performed.
