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

Congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae occur as a result of abnormal blood vessel development in the lungs. Blood takes a short pass from the pulmonary artery to veins. Multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae are a rare occurrence, especially when involving both lungs. Fistulae located at the edge are prone to rupture and bleeding. We discuss a case of a 15-year-old overweight male with multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae successfully treated with wedge-shape excision via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
