Intranasal bevacizumab treatment on epistaxis in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia: a case report.

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
Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu disease, is a rare, vascular, autosomal dominant disorder. The purpose of this paper is to describe the efficacy and safety of treatment with intranasal bevacizumab in HHT. A 42-year-old woman with HHT presented with frequent episodes of epistaxis. Iron studies showed anaemia of iron deficiency from chronic blood loss. Because of the frequent epistaxis (Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS) 6.76) and varying haemoglobin levels (Hb range: 7.7-9.9g/dL) her doctors sought treatment with intranasal bevacizumab. This treatment was prescribed at the hospital pharmacy department in a laminar flow hood. 2.5 mL (25 mg) were placed in a nasal spray bottle. The recommended dosage was twice a day for two consecutive months. Nasal treatment seemed to control her epistaxis, and no adverse effects were reported. She only had a few further minor episodes of epistaxis, which were easily controlled (ESS 3.44). The haemoglobin levels evreached normal levels (Hb range: 12.8-14.1g/dL).
