1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Dementia is a gradual and irreversible loss of higher mental function, particularly memory. Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are one of the rare causes of a rapid decline in cognitive function, which can be curable. DAVFs are pathological shunts between the dural artery and the dural venous sinus, dural vein, or cortical vein. Here, we present a case that initially manifested nausea and dizziness and developed rapidly progressive dementia caused by DAVFs in the left transverse sinus-sigmoid sinus junction area and the sinus confluence area, combined with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Moreover, our case has multiple DAVFs that cause bilateral thalamic lesions and rapidly progressive dementia called thalamic dementia, which is infrequent and often misdiagnosed. His symptoms have improved after receiving endovascular embolization treatment. In addition to presenting our case, we conducted a systemic literature review to summarize how familiarity with the manifestation and early diagnosis of bilateral thalamic lesions caused by DAVFs can lead to earlier and more effective therapy.
