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

Bronchial artery-pulmonary artery fistula (BPAF) is an uncommon vascular malformation with a left-to-right shunt. We report a case of a 72-year-old woman diagnosed with BPAF with two arterial feeders who had no underlying lung diseases and presented with intermittent haemoptysis. Her digital subtraction angiography confirmed BPAF supplied by the right bronchial artery (BA) from the intercostobronchial trunk and another ectopic accessory right BA originating from the right subclavian artery. Considering the future risk of catastrophic rupture due to high systemic pressure exerted on the fistula, prophylactic embolisation procedures via a percutaneous approach were performed. The pulmonary artery was first embolised for outflow control, followed by coil and microvascular plug embolisation on the right BA. The ectopic accessory right BA was later embolised with coil and microvascular plug as a staged procedure. A 14-month post-procedure computed tomography scan confirmed complete thrombosis of both BAs. Our case highlights the efficacy and safety of endovascular embolisation in BPAF.
