Successful Treatment of Multiple Systemic Artery-to-Pulmonary Artery Fistulas.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Systemic artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula (SAPAF) is an uncommon abnormal vascular connection between systemic and pulmonary arteries. SAPAF with 3 or more inflow vessels has rarely been reported. The definitive diagnosis is made by selective arterial angiography, but 3-dimensional computed tomography angiography is useful for delineating abnormal vessels. Embolization is currently performed as a less invasive treatment option, but surgical treatment remains an essential treatment option for preventing recurrence, especially in cases with many abnormal vessels. Herein, we report a case of successful treatment of SAPAF by sparing the lung parenchyma through abnormal inflow vessel dissection and peripheral lung abnormal tissue resection.
