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

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are rare with a low incidence. Tentorial DAVFs account for 10%-15% of all intracranial DAVFs and are associated with an aggressive clinical course. Petrosal DAVFs are a subtype of tentorial DAVFs and account for approximately 26% of tentorial DAVFs. They are supplied by the marginal tentorial artery or external carotid artery branches and drain into the petrosal vein and/or the superior petrosal sinus. Petrosal DAVFs may be challenging to treat endovascularly, while surgical management is often relatively safe and effective. Here the authors present two cases of surgically managed petrosal DAVFs.
