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
Objective: We report a case of seizure-associated transient early venous visualization (EVV) on cerebral angiography in a patient with glioblastoma mimicking arteriovenous shunting pathology. Case Presentation: A 48-year-old woman presented with new-onset generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Brain MRI revealed a poorly demarcated, non-enhancing lesion in the left temporal lobe. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) demonstrated marked hyperperfusion within the lesion and adjacent venous sinuses. Cerebral angiography performed approximately 2 h following seizure cessation showed posterior temporal artery dilation and an EVV pattern, with shunting into the vein of Labbé and the ipsilateral transverse and sigmoid sinuses; this raises suspicion for an arteriovenous shunting lesion. No definitive arteriovenous fistulae or thromboses were identified. The patient was managed with antiepileptic therapy alone, which led to clinical improvement. Follow-up MRI and angiography 2 weeks later revealed complete resolution of ASL hyperperfusion and the EVV pattern. Subsequent histopathological examination of the resected tumor confirmed isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wild-type small cell glioblastoma. Despite the underlying malignant tumor and persistent seizure susceptibility, the angiographic abnormalities and altered venous drainage were entirely reversible and seizure-induced, rather than structurally pathological. Conclusion: This case illustrates that ictal or postictal cerebral hyperperfusion can produce transient EVV on cerebral angiography, even with aggressive neoplasms such as glioblastoma. Recognizing this phenomenon is essential to avoid misdiagnosing a true arteriovenous shunting lesion, thereby preventing unnecessary intervention procedures and guiding appropriate management. When interpreting angiographic abnormalities observed shortly after seizures, integration of perfusion-based MRI findings with the temporal evolution of symptoms is crucial.
