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

purposeTo determine pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) persistence and safety of high-volume detachable non-fibred (HVDNF) coil embolisation of de novo simple PAVMs using computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) at 6-month and 3-year follow-up.

methodsThis retrospective single-cohort study included patients who underwent embolisation of de novo simple PAVMs, exclusively with HVDNF coils, between January 2018 and January 2021. Primary endpoints were PAVM persistence at 6 months, cumulative persistence at 3 years and coil recanalisation at 6 months and 3 years. Secondary endpoints were technical success, safety, repeat embolisation and vein diameter reduction. Persistence and recanalisation were confirmed with digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

resultsThis study included 50 patients with 75 de novo PAVMs. PAVM persistence at 6 months was 13.2%; cumulative persistence at 3 years was 17.4%. Coil recanalisation was the persistence mechanism in 10.3% of the cases at 6 months; at 3 years, this was 13.0%. Technical success rate was 98.7%. There were no procedure- or PAVM-related serious adverse events. Repeat embolisation with HVDNF coils was performed in 4 PAVMs after 6 months and 5 PAVMs after 3 years. Mean vein diameter reduction was 38.3% (SD 29.4%) at 6 months and 44.6% (SD 36.5%) at 3 years.

conclusionsHVDNF coils are safe to use for de novo PAVM embolisation, show an excellent technical success rate and are associated with acceptable 6-month and 3-year persistence and coil recanalisation rates.
