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 case report highlights the findings and treatment in a patient with a splenic arteriovenous fistula causing non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH). Splenic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare, and their management using percutaneous embolisation is an emerging alternative modality as opposed to open surgical intervention. Contribution: Similar cases have been published; however, few highlight the management role of interventional radiology.
