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

Cowden syndrome (CS) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by a germline variant of the phosphatase and tensin homolog, associated with multiple hamartomatous lesions occurring in various organs. Additionally, although rare, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with CS are found in the skin, brain, and spinal cord; however, peribronchial AVMs have not been previously reported. Herein, we report a rare case of a peribronchial AVM in a 30-year-old man with CS who presented with hemoptysis. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an AVM around the left upper bronchus, which was mainly fed by the left bronchial artery and drained into the left inferior pulmonary vein. Under video-assisted thoracic surgery, ligation of the feeding and draining vessels was performed. The AVM remarkably decreased in size one month after the surgery. This case highlights the need for whole-body contrast-enhanced CT to screen for AVMs and the importance of identifying feeding and draining vessels for optimal treatment methods.
