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

A primigravida patient, with a history of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) manifesting as nasal angiodysplasia and hepatic arteriovenous malformations (AVM), presented for delivery planning and anaesthetic evaluation at 29 weeks of gestation. She was hospitalised several times during the second and third trimester for serious recurrent epistaxis, leading to severe anaemia. In total, she required the transfusion of 20 units of packed red blood cells during her pregnancy as well as surgical nasal haemostasis under general anaesthesia (GA). The patient was referred to our tertiary centre for delivery. In the context of recurrent severe epistaxis and high cardiac output (due to hepatic AVM) in the third trimester, a multidisciplinary decision was made to plan an elective caesarean section at 35 4/7 weeks combined with nasal packing under GA. This report discusses the implications of HHT, the multidisciplinary planning of the caesarean section, intraoperative anaesthetic management and patient follow-up.
