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

Background: Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (PAVFs) are abnormal vascular malformations that connect pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins, resulting in a right-to-left shunt. This anatomical shunt leads to a decrease in arterial oxygen saturation. Patients with PAVFs are usually treated with embolization or surgical procedures. Case summary: A 15-month-old child was diagnosed with PAVF Discussion: Here, we report a case of a paediatric patient with congenital asymptomatic PAVF, diagnosed prenatally, and successfully treated with detachable balloon embolization. The case illustrates the detachable occlusion balloons appear to be an effective tool for embolization of PAVF in children, especially in cases involving large feeding vessels.
