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

An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an abnormal vascular communication that allows blood to shunt directly from an artery to a vein. AVFs may be congenital or acquired, including traumatic or iatrogenic causes. Acquired AVFs typically involve the peripheral vascular system, whereas AVFs arising from the subcutaneous tissue of the penis have not been previously reported. We describe a rare subcutaneous penile AVF that was treated with endovascular therapy in a patient with a history of childhood surgery. The patient was a 49-year-old man with congenital hemophilia A and a history of circumcision during childhood. Gradual swelling in the left inguinal region had been noted for several years. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed abnormal vessels extending from the left inguinal region to the left penile subcutaneous tissue, raising suspicion of an AVF. Subsequent angiography confirmed a focal direct AVF supplied by branches of the left superficial femoral artery, with early venous drainage into the left femoral vein and no diffuse nidus-like vascular network. Endovascular treatment was performed using a quadruple coaxial system incorporating a small-caliber balloon catheter. Under balloon-assisted flow control, embolization was conducted from the distal draining vein to the proximal feeding artery using a mixture of
