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 vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare complication following pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation. Cases summary: We present two cases of iatrogenic PVS, successfully managed with balloon angioplasty and stenting. Both patients experienced significant symptom relief and improved functional status following the intervention. Discussion: We highlight the importance of early recognition and intervention in PVS, as well as the complexities involved in long-term management, including surveillance strategies and restenosis prevention.
