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

Introduction: Arteriovenous cerebral high-flow shunts include the vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) and vein of Galen dilatation, which are considered secondary to arteriovenous malformations or arteriovenous fistulas. These entities are often sporadic but are found in association with variants of the Methods: The genetic techniques employed include next-generation sequencing, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, and whole-exome sequencing. Results: Of the 29 patients, 11 cases were found to have variants in genes associated with vascular functions, five cases received a genetic diagnosis, one case presented with a variant of uncertain significance in the Discussion: We provide extensive case descriptions and attempt to infer the genotype-phenotype correlations; variants in all of the known genes associated with arteriovenous cerebral shunts were reported in VGAM patients, while cutaneous angiomas were specific to
