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 (PAVMs) are abnormal, direct connections between a pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein that can lead to severe neurologic complications including ischemic stroke. This case report describes a 39-year-old woman who presented with recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Extensive clinical evaluation revealed PAVM as the underlying cause. Following successful embolization of the PAVM, the patient did not experience further TIAs. This case highlights the importance of considering PAVMs in the differential diagnosis of recurrent TIAs, particularly in patients without traditional risk factors for cerebrovascular events.
