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

backgroundPulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a rare shunt between the arteries and veins of the lungs, which can lead to paradoxical embolism. It is mostly caused by an autosomal-dominant disorder called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. CASE SUMMARY: A 62-year-old woman presented with acute chest pain, initially diagnosed as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Further investigation revealed myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) caused by a PAVM. It was successfully embolized with an Amplatzer device. DISCUSSION: Multimodality imaging is the cornerstone of the differential diagnosis of MINOCA, a conglomerate of rare causes of myocardial infarction. In our case, we identified PAVM as the cause of myocardial infarction due to paradoxical embolism. Due to its high morbidity, mainly due to the increased risk of stroke, early diagnosis and treatment of PAVM is important for patient outcome. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case highlights the importance of multimodality imaging in the diagnosis of MINOCA.
