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

purpose of reviewPulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare entity that until the last 2 decades was seen primarily in infants and children. Percutaneous and surgical interventions have limited success due to relentless restenosis, and mortality remains high. In adults, acquired PVS following ablation for atrial fibrillation has emerged as a new syndrome. This work will review these two entities with emphasis on current treatment. RECENT

findingsGreater emphasis on understanding and addressing the mechanism of restenosis for congenital PVS has led to the use of drug-eluting stents (DES) and systemic drug therapy to target neo-intimal growth. Frequent reinterventions are positively affecting outcomes. Longer-term outcomes of percutaneous treatment for acquired PVS are emerging. Treatment of congenital PVS continues to be plagued by restenosis. DES show promise, but frequent reinterventions are required. Larger upstream vein diameter predicts success for congenital and acquired PVS interventions. Efforts to induce/maintain vessel growth are important for future treatment strategies.
