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

We present a rare case of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from a high-flow terminal ileal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a 19-year-old woman, complicated by chronic portomesenteric thrombosis. Management included sequential targeted embolizations, anticoagulation and venous stenting in attempt to recanalize the portomesenteric vasculature to lower the pressure in the AVM, and, ultimately, right hemicolectomy with portal recanalization. Genetic analysis confirmed phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) hamartoma tumor syndrome, suggesting a potential link between PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome and visceral vascular anomalies. This case underscores the challenges of treating complex AVMs in the setting of thrombosis and highlights the importance of multidisciplinary, individualized management, with international expert consultation essential in rare vascular presentations.
