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

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital vascular anomalies where rupture can be fatal. This report describes a case of a 69-year-old woman who presented with sudden severe lower back pain radiating to her left buttock and thigh and an inability to move her left leg. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed an extensive ruptured retroperitoneal AVM on the left paravertebral side with active bleeding and a large hematoma. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation with considerable blood transfusion was required. The AVM was effectively treated with coil embolization of the feeding lumbar arteries. Shortly after the intervention, the patient developed abdominal compartment syndrome. Urgent laparotomy with evacuation of the retroperitoneal hematoma was required. The patient was discharged 16 days after admission in a good physical condition and has been free of symptoms for more than a year after intervention. However, follow-up CTA showed residual contrast enhancement in the AVM and further surveillance is required.
