Endovascular embolization of a congenital inferior phrenic artery-to-pulmonary arteriovenous malformation: a rare case report.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is abnormal arteriovenous shunts between pulmonary artery (PA) and pulmonary vein, and rarely has congenital direct communications with systemic arteries. CASE PRESENTATION: A 33-year-old male presented to our hospital with intermittent bloody sputum with no evidence of pulmonary infection, trauma or surgery. Chest computed tomography angiography (CTA) indicated the congenital inferior phrenic artery (IPA)-to-PAVM surrounded by diffuse alveolar hemorrhage located in the lower lobe of right lung. Both the afferent PA and IPA were successfully embolized with coils. Recurrent hemoptysis did not occur during one-year follow up.
conclusionsThe congenital communication between IPA and PAVM is rare, and the abnormal direct shunt would induce hemodynamically unstable condition within PAVM. Endovascular embolization of the afferent PA and IPA is a safe and effective method for this abnormal congenital shunt in lung.
