Treatment of tongue telangiectasia in a patient with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
A 61-year-old Caucasian woman presented to an outpatient otolaryngology clinic with increased bleeding from a dorsal tongue telangiectasia for 3 weeks. Her history was significant for hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a rare condition that causes vascular dysplasia, and recent symptomatic anaemia requiring blood transfusions. After failing medical management with topical haemostatic agents, she was offered and underwent surgical intervention to remove the tongue telangiectasia with duel therapy potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser coblation and bevacizumab injections. A team of otolaryngologists removed the lesion without complications, and the patient denied bleeding, had minimal pain, and endorsed increased quality of life postoperatively. Tongue telangiectasias can cause life-threatening bleeding in some patients with HHT, and no surgical management guidelines exist to treat them. This case demonstrates the efficacy of KTP laser followed by bevacizumab injections in treating tongue telangiectasias in a patient with HHT.
