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

Pancreatic arteriovenous malformation is a rare vascular disorder for which no established treatment strategy exists. We report the case of an asymptomatic but progressively enlarging pancreatic head arteriovenous malformation in a 66-year-old man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis who had undergone multiple transarterial chemoembolization procedures for hepatocellular carcinoma. Angiography revealed multiple fine arterial feeders from the distal gastroduodenal artery and proximal anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery converging into a single dominant outflow vein draining into the superior mesenteric vein, consistent with a Cho type II / Yakes type IIIa arteriovenous malformation. Based on this classification, coil embolization of the dominant outflow vein was performed via a percutaneous transhepatic portal venous approach. The procedure was completed safely, and follow-up angiography confirmed complete and persistent shunt obliteration.
