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

Vascular malformations of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are a rare yet significant cause of GI bleeding, that can present at any age and require a high index of suspicion for timely diagnosis. While the majority of lesions may be asymptomatic and detected incidentally on imaging, they may also present with anemia if there is occult blood loss, as acute GI bleeding, or as lead points for intussusception. The presence of multiple vascular malformations may be associated with underlying syndromes, such as Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia syndrome and Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome. While luminal endoscopy is the first-line diagnostic test to evaluate overt and occult GI bleeding, imaging plays a very significant role in detecting these vascular malformations and planning the best treatment approach. In this review, we describe the various imaging findings of GI tract vascular malformations and available treatment options, focusing on endovascular interventional treatments where possible.
