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

The current study analyzed a case of contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) following bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in a patient with hemoptysis due to pulmonary tuberculosis complicated by pulmonary aspergillosis. A 56-year-old male patient developed CIE after BAE was retrospectively analyzed. An ectopic bronchial artery originates from the proximal segment of the right vertebral artery. The patient developed CIE postoperatively, which resolved after treatment with corticosteroids and intracranial pressure reduction. A follow-up cranial MRI after 6 months showed complete resolution of previous edema. A literature review identified three cases of CIE after BAE, all presenting with hemoptysis, and symptom resolution within 3 days.
