Incidentally discovered developmental venous anomaly with an associated white matter changes in a 7-year-old girl: a case report and literature review.

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
Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are the most common cerebral vascular malformation, with age-dependent prevalence variation in the pediatric population. We report a case of an incidentally discovered left anterior temporal DVA with associated white matter changes in a previously healthy 7-year-old girl following minor head trauma. Initial computed tomography revealed a temporal lobe hypodensity, prompting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which demonstrated a classic DVA with adjacent T2/Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) hyperintense white matter changes without restricted diffusion, blooming susceptibility, or abnormal enhancement. The patient remained asymptomatic throughout follow-up, with serial magnetic resonance imaging showing stability of both the DVA and parenchymal abnormalities. The association of DVAs with white matter changes is attributed to chronic venous hypertension or altered hemodynamics. While generally benign, DVAs can occasionally cause seizures or rarely hemorrhage in children. This case highlights the characteristic imaging features and typically benign course of DVAs with white matter changes in children, supporting conservative management with clinical and radiological surveillance.
