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

Hughes-Stovin syndrome (HSS) is an exceedingly rare disease characterized by thrombotic phlebitis and pulmonary or bronchial artery aneurysms. A 68-year-old man presented with ischemic colitis, and angiography revealed occlusion of the inferior mesenteric vein and arteriovenous malformation in the inferior mesenteric artery region. Medical treatment was unsuccessful, and a left hemicolectomy was therefore performed following coil embolization. Subsequently, a pulmonary artery aneurysm was incidentally detected, and coil embolization was performed. However, the patient developed deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism, which led to a diagnosis of HSS. To our knowledge, this is the first report of ischemic colitis as a presenting feature of HSS.
