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

Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis is a rare but serious complication after transcatheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, potentially leading to massive haemoptysis. We present a case of severe PV stenosis resulting in haemoptysis. A 57-year-old man presented with haemoptysis 18 months after catheter ablation. His left PV was almost completely occluded and required the left pneumonectomy. Pathological examination revealed irreversible fibrosis of the PV intima, which led to pulmonary congestion. Surgical intervention resolved the haemoptysis. Anatomical pulmonary resection is required for massive haemoptysis caused by PV stenosis that occurs long after transcatheter ablation.
