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

The authors present the clinical case of a 59-year-old female patient with a history of peripheral desaturation, which was detected in the perioperative period 4 years earlier. She reported exertional dyspnea, quantified as grade 2 on the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale (walks slower than people of the same age because of dyspnea or has to stop for breath when walking at her own pace), and morning cough with mucoid sputum and denied platypnea, epistaxis, telangiectasias and hemoptysis. A computed chest tomography scan revealed a contrast-enhanced lesion on the right upper lobe with an afferent and two efferent vessels compatible with pulmonary arteriovenous malformation. The transesophageal echocardiogram revealed an important right-left shunt compatible with arteriovenous fistula in the pulmonary circulation. An angiography confirmed the diagnosis and a selective embolization of the afferent artery was performed with resolution of symptoms.
