The role of angiogenic factor bFGF in the development of dural AVFs.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
purposeDural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are known to be acquired disorders. Angiogenic stimulants, such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), may be involved in the evolution of this disorder. We examined the appearance and localization of bFGF, in human dAVF sinuses, versus a control using immunohistochemical techniques, to evaluate these qualitative differences. PATIENTS AND
methodsFour human dural sinuses from dAVF patients, and one control dural sinus were removed at surgery or autopsy and used for this study. Immunohistochemistry for bFGF was performed in all five specimens to identify its appearance and localization. Immunohistochemistry for alpha smooth muscle actin, factor VII related antigen, and macrophage (CD-68) were done in all tissues to identify the bFGF positive cell types.
resultsIn the control dural sinus, there was negative staining by bFGF immunohistochemistry. However, in all four sinuses of the dAVF patients, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and meningeal cells were stained positively in various degrees by bFGF immunohistochemistry.
conclusionbFGF may be significant in the development of dAVFs, judging from its strong immunoreactivity in the sinuses of dAVF patients.
