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

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Rendu-Osler-Weber disease, is an autosomal dominant disorder of the fibrovascular tissue. It is characterized by the classic triad of (muco-)cutaneous telangiectases, arteriovenous malformations with recurrent epistaxis and hemorrhages, and inheritance. A wide variety of clinical manifestations in HHT have been described. In more than 90% of the patients, nosebleeds are the first predominant symptom, therefore ENT physicians often play a key role as far as diagnosis and management of the disease are concerned. In spite of recent diagnostic and therapeutic progress, a cure for this often burdening and handicapping disease is still not available. Apart from affecting the nose, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may also affect the skin, lungs, brain, liver and gastrointestinal tract. The two known genes that are implicated in HHT are endoglin (ENG) located on chromosome 9q33-q34 and activin-receptor-like kinase (ALK1) located on chromosome 12q13. Mutations of ENG are observed in HHT type 1 with an incidence up to 40% for pulmonary AVMs, whereas mutations of ALK1 are observed in HHT type 2 with an incidence of only 14% for pulmonary AVMs, which clinically distinguishes these two types of mutation. The emphasis of this paper is mainly on the clinical manifestation, molecular genetics and diagnosis of HHT, taking account of current literature on HHT in order to better understand the complexity of the disease. Recent therapeutic options in the treatment of HHT have been omitted from this paper as they are subject of a following paper. HHT is more common than previously thought and shows a broad range of different clinical organ manifestations that can be sources of substantial morbidity and mortality, making HHT a continuing challenge for many sub-specialties where interdisciplinary diagnostic screening is mandatory in the management of the disease.
