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

backgroundNeurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder occasionally associated with vascular abnormalities, including arterial fragility and spontaneous rupture. Cervical hemorrhage related to NF1 is rare, yet potentially life-threatening, and its management presents significant challenges. Here, the authors report a rare case of NF1 complicated by recurrent spontaneous cervical hemorrhage requiring repeated endovascular embolization. OBSERVATION: A 67-year-old man with NF1 presented with acute cervical swelling without a history of trauma. CT revealed a large cervical hematoma causing tracheal deviation, and CT angiography showed active extravasation from a branch of the thyrocervical artery. Emergency endovascular embolization using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate achieved hemostasis. The following day, recurrent hemorrhage developed from branches of the transverse cervical and internal thoracic arteries, necessitating repeat endovascular embolization. After the second intervention, no further bleeding occurred, and the patient recovered with supportive care. LESSONS: In patients with NF1, cervical hemorrhage may recur early from a vascular territory distinct from the initially treated lesion. Even after a technically successful embolization, close early surveillance is required. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE26354.
