Article in BMJ case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04976036 (Phase II Multicentric Randomized Study on Efficacy of Nintedanib for Treatment of Epistaxis in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

A 70-year-old patient with known hereditary haemorrhagictelangiectasia (HHT) was seen regularly in our outpatient clinic. He underwent multiple therapeutical interventions, including both surgical and medical, for the treatment of recurrent epistaxis without sustained success. Due to a concurrent diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor nintedanib was initiated, after which point the patient reported a dramatic and unanticipated improvement in his epistaxis and skin telangiectasia. On the basis of this case report, we propose that nintedanib may be a potential treatment option for refractory epistaxis in HHT.
