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

Iatrogenic complications provide insight into the limitations of procedures. Complications associated with insertion of permanent dialysis catheter are numerous but central arterio-venous fistulas (cAVF) are a rarity. Our case reports a cAVF between the innominate vessels post insertion of a tunneled hemo-dialysis central venous catheter (HD-CVC) via left internal jugular vein (IJV) in a 43-year-old female. She presented with progressive swelling in the left side of the neck and fullness of the left supra-clavicular fossa and supra-sternal notch with dyspnea upon exertion. High output cardiac failure was noted. Due to the impending rupture status at the catheter insertion site, surgery was expedited. The sternum was split and the communication between the arterial and venous system successfully ligated. Patient was discharged after a week. Literature search culminated in describing this first innominate arterio-venous fistula (AVF) post HD-CVC insertion case and its management. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12055-025-01951-6.
