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
Background: Noninvasive direct flow measurement from digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is challenging in brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs). We devised a method to estimate the blood volume flow rate of BAVM nidus using DSA, and assessed its association with angioarchitecture features in hemorrhagic presentation. Methods: A total of 24 patients with BAVMs (10 controls and 14 with hemorrhage) who underwent DSA and magnetic resonance (MR) were retrospectively recruited. Fifteen patients underwent additional phase contrast MR imaging. The nidus volume was contoured on the MR time-of-flight data set. From DSA, flow velocities and volume flow rate were estimated along calibrated vascular center lines. The BAVM nidus volume flow rate was computed by adding feeding volume flow rate of arteries confirmed on DSA and then normalizing them with nidus volume to yield the nidus flow index. The correspondent phase-contrast MR-estimated nidus flow index was evaluated in each BAVM for comparison. Comparisons of hemodynamic parameters of the control and hemorrhage groups were conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. A support vector machine was used for classifying BAVM patients using angioarchitectures and the nidus flow index. Results: For the DSA results, the nidus flow index was higher in the hemorrhagic group than in the control group ( Conclusion: The BAVM nidus flow index can be directly estimated from DSA and may be associated with hemorrhagic BAVM. Peritherapeutic hemodynamic assessment of BAVMs inside the angio-suite is feasible.
