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

Objective: To establish a nasal endoscopic vascular grading system for predicting epistaxis severity and guiding stepwise therapy in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Methods: A retrospective cohort of 32 HHT patients from 22 families was classified via 1080p endoscopy into three grades: Grade I: Sparse punctate telangiectases; Grade II: Dense confluent vessels; Grade III: Protruding hemangiomas. Demographics, Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS), hemoglobin levels (Hb), systemic vascular lesions, and ENG/ACVRL1 mutations were analyzed. Treatment outcomes were compared across grades. Results: Grade I accounted for 18.8%, Grade II for 34.4%, and Grade III for 46.9%. Grade III patients showed the highest ESS (6.31 ± 2.13 vs. 1.21 ± 0.92 for Grade I, Conclusion: This study preliminarily confirms a significant correlation between nasal endoscopic vascular morphology and HHT epistaxis severity, guiding disease assessment and treatment planning. Level of Evidence: 3.
