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

Spontaneous pneumothorax occurring in patients with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) caused by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is extremely rare. We report a case of spontaneous pneumothorax in a PAVM patient. A 26-year-old man with previously diagnosed HHT and multiple small PAVMs presented with chest pain and dyspnea and was referred to our hospital. Chest X-ray showed a left-sided pneumothorax. Computed tomography (CT) showed apical bullae on both sides of the upper lobe. We clarified the location of PAVMs by 3D-CT to avoid the massive bleeding caused by careless grasping of PAVMs and unintentional incomplete resection of the PAVMs during the pneumothorax surgery. Considering the risk of exacerbation, the patient underwent bullectomy of the left upper lobe. The postoperative histopathological examination indicated that the pneumothorax occurred spontaneously in the HHT patient. We should clarify the location of PAVMs to avoid bleeding caused by the grasping of PAVMs during surgery.
