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

Intraosseous arteriovenous fistulas are rare vascular anomalies, with an increasing number of reports describing successful endovascular treatments in recent years. Although some cases of acute subdural hematoma caused by intraosseous arteriovenous fistulas have been reported, the precise mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we present a case of surgical treatment for an intraosseous arteriovenous fistula with acute subdural hematoma. A 58-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a sudden headache and nausea. Computed tomography revealed a left acute subdural hematoma with an abnormal diploic space in the frontal bone. Digital subtraction angiography confirmed an intraosseous arteriovenous fistula supplied by the middle meningeal artery and draining into the diploic vein. Because of concerns about potential tumor involvement, direct surgery was performed. Intraoperatively, vascularized tissue surrounding the fistula extended through the dural defect and connected to the subdural space, suggesting a possible cause of the acute subdural hematoma. The feeder and draining vein were dissected and removed along with the abnormal tissue. Histopathological analysis revealed fibrous tissue with hemorrhage and increased vascularity but no tumorous changes. Postoperative angiography confirmed successful arteriovenous fistula occlusion, and the patient recovered with minimal neurological deficit. This case suggests that intraosseous arteriovenous fistulas may cause acute subdural hematoma owing to the anatomical feature of vascularized tissue around the fistula extending through the dural defect into the subdural space.
