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

introductionWe present two cases of Hereditary Hemmorhagic Telengiectasia (HHT), one pediatric and the other adult, with a view to highlight the myriad cerebral and spinal vascular manifestations of this disease. The syndrome and its various findings will be reviewed including the utility of angiography in assessing the various vascular abnormalities of the cerebral and spinal vasculature.

methodsA review of literature regarding various developmental abnormalities including brain and spinal cord arterio-venous malformations (AVMs), arterio-venous fistulae (AVFs), micro AVMs, micro-fistulae, aneurysms and cavernomas that occur in pediatric and adult population subsets of HHT. Both patients underwent thorough clinical and laboratory evaluation. The pediatric patient underwent a contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the chest; cerebral, Pulmonary & celiac angiography. The adult patient underwent cerebral and spinal angiography.

conclusionThe spectrum of vascular malformations in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telengiectasia (HHT) is varied.The incidence and manifestations of brain and spinal cord AVMs, AVFs, micro AVMs, micro-fistulae, aneurysms and cavernomas are different in the pediatric and adults affected by the disease. Cerebral and spinal angiography are necessary in characterising the various developmental vascular abnormalities in order to guide further management.
