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

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter embolization (TCE) for pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF). Methods: From January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2024, 28 patients (13 male, 15 female) with 41 PAVFs underwent TCE. Changes in arterial oxygen saturation (SaO Results: The procedural success rate was 100%, with an immediate complete occlusion rate of 87.8%.Postoperative SaO2 was significantly higher than that before operation (92.0% vs. 84.1%, Conclusion: The adaptable utilization of various occluders can enhance the success rate of achieving effective occlusion. TCE for PAVFs demonstrates high safety and efficacy, with excellent procedural success rates and sustained long-term outcomes.
