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

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal connections between the pulmonary arteries and veins that can result in rapid-onset heart failure. We present a case of a fetus with pulmonary AVMs diagnosed at 22 weeks gestation. Fetal echocardiography showed cardiomegaly and dilated pulmonary arteries and veins reflecting the hemodynamic significance of the shunt. Inverted flow through the ductus arteriosus was also present. Fetal autopsy following medical termination of the pregnancy confirmed the morphological findings, including displacement of arteries and veins in proximity to the pleural surface. The genetic study was negative. This report highlights the cardiovascular impact of a rare disorder. Inverted flow through the ductus arteriosus may be another poor prognostic indicator, useful in parental counseling.
