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

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is a rare congenital anomaly that may complicate central venous access by predisposing to catheter malposition. We report a 70-year-old woman in whom a left internal jugular dialysis catheter was inadvertently advanced into the left inferior pulmonary vein through an anomalous connection with the left innominate vein. Computed tomography (CT) angiography confirmed PAPVR, and the catheter was safely removed. This case illustrates the procedural risks of unrecognized venous anomalies and emphasizes the importance of CT imaging and vigilance when catheter trajectories deviate from expected anatomical pathways.
