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

Hughes-Stovin syndrome (HSS) is a rare disease characterized by deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary and/or bronchial artery aneurysms. A 28-year-old female patient was followed-up for 5 months with pulmonary embolism. When she presented with hemoptysis at her 5th month, pulmonary artery aneurysm was detected on thoracic CT angiography. The abdominal magnetic resonance (MR) angiography revealed thrombus in the inferior vena cava. Because she didin't carry the criteria for Behcet's disease, she was diagnosed as Hughes-Stovin Syndrome (HSS) and steroid treatment was started. The patient who had a response to the treatment, stay in remission for a long time. The prognosis was poor in patients with HSS, and aneurysmal rupture was the main cause of death. In order to emphasize the fact that, when the pulmonary arterial aneurysm is seen, in view of the possibility of Behçet or its variant HSS,rapid onset of treatment can be life-saving. A rare female case is presented in the light of the literature.
