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

This report details the urgent management of a life-threatening aortobronchial fistula (ABF) in a 61-year-old male with a history of esophageal cancer surgery, who presented with massive hemoptysis, underscoring the critical role of rapid diagnosis and endovascular intervention in this rare vascular complication. Emergency digital subtraction angiography (DSA) confirmed the ABF, prompting immediate thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with successful deployment of a stent graft, which achieved complete hemostasis, restored aortic integrity, and resulted in an uncomplicated postoperative course without recurrent bleeding. The case reinforces TEVAR as a minimally invasive and definitive therapeutic strategy for ABF, particularly in high-risk surgical candidates, while highlighting the indispensable role of angiographic imaging in acute settings and the need for heightened clinical suspicion in patients with prior thoracic interventions to avert catastrophic outcomes.
