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

Side-to-side femoral arteriovenous fistulas are not amenable to closure with embolization, and surgical repair remains the traditional treatment. A 16-month-old boy presented with swelling in his right lower extremity, a complication arising from a side-to-side arteriovenous fistula that developed after cardiac catheterization at 5 months of age. The iatrogenic fistula was effectively closed using a simple technique involving disruption of the fistula with a curved needle and the placement of a transfistula untied suture under sonographic guidance. A follow-up visit 4 years later indicated the fistula remained obliterated.
