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

Background: The association among aortic valve stenosis, gastrointestinal bleeding, and anaemia due to arteriovenous malformations, known as Heyde's syndrome (HS), is poorly understood and controversial. Recently, acquired Type 2A von Willebrand syndrome (vWS 2A) was shown to be the most likely aetiological mechanism of anaemia. Case summary: We report two cases of HS in whom the percutaneous replacement of the aortic valve was resolutive for iron deficiency anaemia. Discussion: Iron deficiency anaemia and aortic stenosis are a common association in the elderly, so much that frequently; in such cases, the correction of the valvulopathy is often excluded as pre-operative anaemia is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. From this perspective, the correct diagnosis of HS is crucial to guide the decision to correct valvulopathy, as valvular substitution is resolutive for both anaemic disorders and aortic stenosis.
