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

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant genetic condition associated with mucocutaneous and visceral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), including pulmonary AVMs, which predispose patients to systemic paradoxical emboli that can lead to brain abscesses. Intraventricular rupture of brain abscess (IVROBA) is a feared complication with a high mortality rate. Here, we present a case with brain abscesses complicated by IVROBA and ventriculitis as the initial presentation of HHT in an undiagnosed patient. We also discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic approach that resulted in this patient's clinical improvement.
