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

Although tuberous sclerosis (TS) may affect many organs, vascular manifestations involving medium- and large-size vessels are rare. We present a young child with known TS who presented with bilateral posterior circulation infarcts and subsequently was found to have right-hand ischaemia secondary to a thrombosed brachial artery aneurysm. A wound on his right middle finger failed to heal with conservative management, and digital subtraction angiography and MR angiogram demonstrated a lack of bypass target with microcollateral supply of the forearm only. The right middle digit ischaemia was initially managed with right middle finger disarticulation at the metacarpophalangeal joint, but the wound failed to heal and the patient proceeded to a thumb-sparing carpo-metacarpal amputation. Aneurysms, stenotic-occlusive disease and embolic stroke are rare but important complications of TS.
