Stroke-Mimic: An Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Revealed by New-Onset Seizures and Post-Ictal Deficit.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (iDAVFs) are rare vascular malformations with diverse neurological symptoms depending on their venous drainage pattern. We describe a 59-year-old man who presented with transient right-sided weakness and facial droop following new-onset seizures. CT demonstrated asymmetric arterial-phase enhancement of the left transverse sinus and cortical veins, while MRI revealed left occipitotemporal and cerebellar hemorrhages consistent with venous congestion. Digital subtraction angiography confirmed a high-grade left anterior condylar iDAVF with cortical venous reflux (Borden II; Cognard IIa+b). Endovascular embolization was unsuccessful because of challenging vascular anatomy. Definitive management was achieved through surgical disconnection and targeted sinus coiling. This case highlights the diverse presentations of iDAVFs and emphasizes the importance of considering a vascular etiology in patients with atypical stroke-like or postictal deficits.
