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 a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by the development of vascular malformations (VMs) in organs such as the brain and lungs, as well as telangiectases on mucosal surfaces. Prophylactic treatment of organ VMs may prevent potential complications, such as hemorrhage. However, brain VM treatment-surgical resection, embolization, and/or radiosurgery-is not recommended for all patients due to the associated risks. Given the scarcity of data regarding HHT-related brain VM presentation and treatment trends in pediatric patients, we aim to describe the clinical presentations and the patterns of treatment of HHT-related brain VMs in a pediatric cohort, and compare pediatric trends to those of adults. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed in 114 pediatric patients with HHT-related brain VMs and compared with a cohort of 253 adult patients enrolled in the multicenter Brain Vascular Malformation Consortium HHT Project. Our data demonstrated that a higher proportion of pediatric patients with HHT-related brain VMs were symptomatic at presentation (
