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
Occult visceral arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) may be a constant threat to patients suffering from hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome (M. ROW). HHT patients predominantly become symptomatic through chronic, recurrent epistaxis, a symptom that can alert physicians at an early stage of the disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether occult, visceral arterio-venous malformations could be detected by screening imaging studies in patients suffering from HHT. In a comprehensive diagnostic study, Rendu-Osler-Weber patients were examined for potential visceral arterio-venous malformations by physical examination and non-invasive imaging techniques. The Department of Otolaryngology of the Philipps University of Marburg is a major referral center and coordinated the screening procedures. Thirty-five individuals with the presumed diagnosis of HHT gave informed consent to the screening investigations. Eighteen of 35 individuals were found to suffer from visceral vascular malformations; most of the AVMs were diagnosed in the lung, but also the liver, spleen, brain and eyes were affected. Six patients could be treated preventively by arterial embolization for AVMs of the lung, liver and brain. Comprehensive screening for occult AVMs in HHT patients seems to be justified to avert potential complications in this group of patients.
